Our culture needs more meaning | Hugo Dixon | TEDxAthens

NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... The West’s materialistic, hedonistic culture is failing on multiple levels. It’s leading to an epidemic of mental illness, fueling the rise of populism and destroying our planet. The antidote? Put “meaningfulness” at the heart of our culture. Hugo Dixon is a campaigner, journalist, and entrepreneur. He is currently focused on fighting climate change – in particular promoting the Clean Green Initiative, a global plan to help to develop and emerging countries grow in a green way. Previously, he was deputy chair of the People’s Vote campaign, which was campaigning for a new Brexit referendum in the UK. He was also chair and editor-in-chief of InFacts, a journalistic enterprise making the fact-based case against Brexit. Before that, he was chair and editor-in-chief of Reuters Breakingviews, which he founded. Before that, he was editor of the Financial Times’ Lex Column. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
