Decoding violent moods in society | Klavs Sedlenieks | TEDxRiga

Have you ever felt that the air is electrified?.. Have you felt that people around you have a common mood that makes them move as one? Or is that all your imagination? Turns out there is a way to check — a way to measure those moods in society. Klavs Sedlenieks and his colleagues have built a machine that attempts to detect the trouble that lingers in the air. Having studied, worked and done research in Latvia, Lithuania, UK, USA, Estonia and Montenegro, Klavs has returned to Latvia to continue pioneering the field of social anthropology in this country. He is one of the founders and core members of Latvian Association of Anthropologists, creator of the first MSc programme in social anthropology. His frequent comments in media range Klavs among the most visible Latvian public intellectuals. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
