Sarah Jones: What does the future hold? 11 characters offer quirky answers

Translator: Andreja Benčina Reviewer: Nika Kotnik

First of all, for those of you who

Najprej naj vsem, ki mojega dela ne poznajo, povem,

are not familiar with my work,

I create multicultural characters,

da ustvarjam večkulturne like,

so characters from lots of different backgrounds.

torej like z različnim poreklom.

So before the present is the new future,

Zato naj, preden bo sedanjost nova prihodnost,

a bit about the past is that I grew up in a family

povem nekaj o preteklosti; odrasla sem v družini,

that was multi-everything -- multi-racial, multi-cultural,

ki je bila multi-vse -- več-rasna, multi-kulturna,

black and white, Caribbean,

črnska in bela, karibska, irsko-ameriška, nemško-ameriška.

Irish-American, German-American.

There was Dominican music blasting from stereos.

Dominikanska glasba je nabijala iz zvočnikov.

There were Christians and Jews.

Bili so kristjani in judje.

That's a long story filled with

To je dolga zgodba polna intrig ter medverske krivde in sramu.

intrigue and interfaith guilt and shame.

But I was totally immersed in this world

Bila sem povsem potopljena v ta svet,

that was filled with everybody,

ki je bil napolnjen z vsemi,

and then I went on to the United Nations school,

in nato sem se šolala na šoli Združenih narodov,

and that just completely —

in to je čisto --

So I began sort of developing these voices

Zato sem začela nekako razvijati te glasove in te ljudi,

and these people,

all of whom were loosely based on people I really know,

vse nekako osnovane na ljudeh, ki jih zares poznam,

and so, for example, in performing them,

in tako sem, na primer, z nastopanjem zares hotela postati oni.

I would really try to inhabit them.

And for example,

I don't really talk like that,

Na primer, ne govorim zares takole, ampak to je bil eden od mojih ljudi,

but that was one of my people,

and I'm going to bring a few of my friends --

in pripeljala bom nekaj svojih prijateljev --

I think of them as my friends —

zame so kot prijatelji --

to this stage, in this spirit of the idea

na ta oder v tem duhu ideje, da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,

that the present is the new future,

in sort of a meta way,

na nekakšen meta način, ker sem razmišljala in prihodnost je zame,

because I thought about it, and the future, for me,

what can be so frightening

pri njej je tako strašljivo, da ne vem, kaj prihaja.

is that I don't know what's coming.

I don't know if that's true for other people,

Ne vem, če to drži za druge, toda pri razmišljanju o tem,

but that notion of thinking about

how we can understand the future

kako lahko razumemo prihodnost in predvidimo rezultate,

and predict outcomes,

for me, it's terrifying to not know what might be coming.

zame je strašljivo ne vedeti, kaj bi lahko bilo

And so the idea that there are questions

In tako ideja, da so tu vprašanja, ki jih nisem še nikoli videla,

that I've never seen

that my people are going to answer,

na katera bodo odgovarjali moji ljudje,

and some of these characters have been with me for ages,

in nekateri so z mano že zelo dolgo, nekateri sploh nimajo imen,

some of them don't even have names,

I don't know what's going to happen.

sploh ne vem, kaj se bo zgodilo.

I don't know what's coming,

Ne vem, kaj prihaja,

and all I can do is remind myself

vse, kar lahko naredim, je to, da se opomnim,

that I told Chris I'd fly by the seat of my pants,

da sem rekla Chrisu, da bom improvizirala

and now that I'm up here it sort of feels like

in zdaj, ko sem tu, to izgleda nekako kot tiste sanje, v katerih nimaš hlač,

that dream where you don't have any pants on,

and so I suppose I'm going to be

in verjetno bo to sedaj improvizacija brez hlač.

flying by the seat of my ass.

That said, let's just see who comes out.

In zdaj poglejmo kdo bo pač prišel ven.

May we have the first question:

Naj vidimo prvo vprašanje:

"Do you ever get headaches

"Ali imaš kdaj glavobole zaradi mikročipov, vsajenih v možganih?"

from the microchips implanted in your brain?"

Right.

Dobro.

Okay.

Okej.

Well first of all, I'll just say

Najprej naj samo rečem, da upam, da me dobro slišite.

that I hope you can hear me okay.

My name is Lorraine Levine,

Ime mi je Lorraine Levine,

and the idea of microchips implanted in my brain,

in ideja o mikročipih v moji glavi,

frankly, just putting on my glasses reminds me

po pravici povedano, že samo, ko si nadenem očala, pomislim,

of thank God I'm not wearing the Google Glasses.

hvala bogu, da to niso Google očala.

No offense to them. I'm glad that you all enjoy them,

Brez zamere. Veseli me, da jih vsi radi nosite, a pri mojih letih,

but at my age,

just putting on the regular ones I have

že samo, ko si nataknem navadna očala, pride preveč informacij.

already gives me too much information.

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

Ali me razumete, kaj hočem povedati?

I don't need to know more. I don't want to know.

Ni treba, da vem več. Nočem vedeti.

That's it. That's enough.

To je to. To je dovolj.

I love you all. You're wonderful.

Rada vas imam vse. Čudoviti ste.

It's fabulous to be here with such big machers

Čudovito je letos biti spet tukaj s takimi velikimi maherji.

again this year. Mwah!

Mva!

Okay, next question. (Applause)

Ok, naslednje vprašanje. (Aplavz)

Next, please.

Naslednje, prosim.

"Is dating boring,

"So zmenki dolgočasni, zdaj, ko se ljudje razmnožujejo aseksualno?"

now that humans reproduce asexually?"

Who do we got?

Koga smo dobili?

Hi, um, okay, hi everybody.

Živ'jo, em, ok, živ'jo vsem.

My name is Nereida.

Ime mi je Nereida.

I just want to say first of all

Najprej naj povem,

that dating is never boring under any circumstance.

da zmenki niso v nobenih okoliščinah dolgočasni.

But I am very excited to be here right now,

Ampak sem zelo vesela, da sem sedaj tu

so I am just trying to remind myself that,

zato se samo skušam opomniti, da,

you know, like, the purpose of being here and everything,

saj veste, zakaj sem tu in tako dalje.

I mean, trying to answer these questions, it is very exciting.

Odgovarjati na ta vprašanja je zelo razburljivo.

But I also, I just need to acknowledge

A hkrati moram priznati, da je TED neverjetna izkušnja zdaj,

that TED is an incredible experience right now

in the present, like, I just need to say, like,

v sedanjosti, hočem samo reči, Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!

Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!

Okay, maybe it doesn't mean,

Ok, mogoče to ne pomeni, seveda nekaj pomeni vam,

of course it means something to you,

but to me, it's like, another level, okay?

a meni čisto na drugi ravni, ok?

Because I'm Latina and I really appreciate the fact

Ker sem Latinoameričanka in res cenim dejstvo,

that there are role models here that I can really,

da obstajajo vzorniki s katerimi lahko zares,

I don't know, I just need to say that.

ne vem, morala sem to reči.

That's incredible to me, and sometimes when I'm nervous and everything like that,

Zame je neverjetno in včasih, ko sem živčna in te stvari,

I just need to, like, say some affirmations

moram preprosto izreči kakšne pozitivne trditve, ki mi lahko pomagajo.

that can help me.

I usually just try to use, like, the three little words

Navadno skušam uporabiti, tri besedice, zaradi katerih se vedno počutim bolje:

that always make me feel better:

Sotomayor, Sotomayor, Sotomayor. (Laughter)

Sotomayor, Sotomayor, Sotomayor. (Smeh)

Just, it really helps me to get grounded.

To me res prizemlji.

Now I can use Allende, Allende, Allende,

Zdaj lahko rečem Allende, Allende, Allende,

and, you know, I just need to say it, like,

in veste, samo reči moram,

it's so incredible to be here, and I knew that we were going to have these questions.

čudovito je biti tu, vedela sem, da bodo vprašanja.

I was so nervous and I was thinking just, like, oh my God, oh my God,

Bila sem živčna in mislila sem samo o, moj bog...

and reminding me, because I've had, like, some very,

in se opominjala, imela sem pač,

especially since the last time we were here at TED,

sploh, ko sem bila zadnjič na TED, je bilo pač neverjetno,

it was, like, unbelievable,

and then right after that, like,

in takoj po tem se je zgodilo toliko norega,

so many crazy things happened, like,

we ended up going to the White House to perform.

šli smo nastopat v Belo hišo.

That was, like, amazing,

To je bilo totalno super in stala sem tam

and I'm standing there,

and I was just like, please don't say, "Oh my God."

in si mislila, ne reci: "O, moj bog." Ne reci: "O, moj bog."

Don't say, "Oh my God."

And I just kept saying it: "Oh my God. Oh my God."

Ponavljala sem: "O, moj bog, o, moj bog."

And, you know, I kept thinking to myself, like,

In, veste, po glavi mi je šlo:

President Obama has to come up here at the same podium,

predsednik Obama bo prišel sem na ta isti podij,

and I'm standing here saying, "Oh my God."

jaz pa tu govorim: "O, moj bog." Pomisli, ločitev cerkve in države.

It's like, the separation of church and state.

It's just, I couldn't, like, I couldn't process.

Tega sploh nisem mogla dojeti. Bilo je preveč.

It was really too much.

So I think I've lost my way.

In mislim, da sem se izgubila.

But what I wanted to say is that dating, for me,

Ampak hotela sem reči, da so zmenki zame, saj veste, kolikor se mene tiče,

you know, as far as I'm concerned,

however you reproduce, as long as you're enjoying yourself

ni važno, kako se razmnožuješ, dokler se zabavaš

and it's with another consenting asexual -- I don't know.

skupaj z drugim aseksualcem -- ne vem.

You know where I'm going with that.

Saj veste, kaj mislim s tem. Ok, ciao, gracias.

Okay, ciao, gracias.

Okay, next question. (Applause)

Ok, naslednje vprašanje. (Aplavz)

What are your top five favorite songs right now?

"Naštej svojih top pet pesmi ta trenutek."

All right, well first of all, I'mma say,

Ok, najprej, naj povem, saj veste, kaj mislim, edini tip ta trenutek tu gor.

you know what I'm saying, I'm the only dude up here right now.

My name is Rashid,

Ime mi je Rashid in še nikoli nisem bil na TED,

and I never been at TED before,

you know what I'm saying.

veste, kaj hočem povedati.

I think, Sarah Jones, maybe she didn't want me to come out last time.

Mogoče Sarah Jones zadnjič ni hotela, da pridem.

I don't know why. You know what I'm saying.

Ne vem, zakaj. Veste, kaj pravim.

Obviously I would be like a perfect fit for TED.

Očitno je, da sem popoln za TED.

You know what I'm saying.

Veste, kaj hočem povedati.

First of all, that I'm in hip hop, you know what I'm saying.

Najprej, rad imam hip-hop, veste, kaj pravim.

I know some of y'all may be not really

Nekateri med vami mogoče niste tako navdušeni nad glasbo,

as much into the music,

but the first way y'all can always know,

ampak prvi znak, po katerem vedno veste, veste, kaj pravim, da imam rad hip-hop,

you know what I'm saying, that I'm in hip hop,

is 'cos I hold the microphone

je to, da držim mikrofon v uradni MC pozi.

in an official emcee posture.

Y'all can see that right there.

Tukaj jo lahko vidite. Tako se ga drži.

That's how you hold it.

All right, so you get your little tutorial right there.

Okej, pravkar ste dobili kratko lekcijo.

But when Sarah Jones told me we was gonna come up here,

Ampak, ko mi je Sarah Jones povedala, da bova tu gor,

sem bil čisto, kaj, veste, kaj pravim.

I was like, betch, you know what I'm saying,

TED is real fly, I got a whole lot of dope,

TED je zakon, imam ogromno idej,

you know what I'm saying, shit going on and everything,

veste, kaj hočem povedati, stvari se mi dogajajo,

but she was like, yeah,

ampak ona je rekla, ja,

we're going to have to answer, like, some random questions,

odgovarjati bova morala na neka naključna vprašanja,

just like, and I was like, what the hell is that?

in rekel sem, kaj za vraga je to?

You know what I'm saying, just stand up there

Samo stati na odru, odgovarjati na neka vprašanja?

and answer some random questions?

I don't want to,

Nočem, to je kot intelektualni policijski pregled.

I mean, it's like an intellectual stop-and-frisk.

You know what I'm saying? (Laughter)

Saj veste, kaj mislim? (Smeh)

I don't want to be standing up there just

Nočem stati tu, da me zaslišujejo in vse drugo.

all getting interrogated and whatnot.

That's what I'm trying to leave behind

To poskušam pustiti v New Yorku. Veste, kaj mislim?

in New York. You know what I'm saying?

So anyway, I would have to say my top five songs right now

Skratka, zdaj bi moral našteti svojih pet najljubših pesmi

is all out of my own personal catalogue,

in to sploh ni v mojem stilu, a veste, kaj mislim?

you know what I mean?

So if you want to know more about that,

Če hočete vedeti več o tem, veste, kaj mislim,

you know what I'm saying,

we could talk about the anti-piracy and all that,

lahko govorimo o anti-piratstvu in vse to, ampak kar se mene tiče,

but as far as I'm concerned,

you know, I believe in creative commons,

veste, verjamem v Creative Commons in mislim, da je res pomembno,

and I think it's really important that, you know,

that needs to be sustainable and everything,

da je vse trajnostno

and I mean, as far as I'm concerned,

in kar se mene tiče,

I mean, this right here,

mislim, prav to tukaj je tisto okolje, ki hočem, da traja. Veste, kaj mislim?

this environment, I would like to sustain.

You know what I mean?

But I'm just saying, if y'all are interested

Ampak samo pravim, če vas zanima mojih pet pesmi, boste morali to zaklicati.

in the top five songs, you need to holler at me.

You know what I'm saying?

Veste, kaj mislim?

Aight? In the future or the present. Yeah.

Okej? V prihodnosti ali sedanjosti. Ja.

Enjoy the rest of it.

Uživajte v preostanku.

Okay, next question.

Okej, naslednje vprašanje.

What do you got?

Kaj imamo?

"How many of your organs have been 3D printed?"

"Koliko tvojih organov je 3D natisnjenih?"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Well I have to say that I don't know about

Moram reči, da ne vem, koliko mojih organov je bilo 3D natisnjenih,

how many of my organs

have been 3-D printed as such,

but I can tell you that it is so challenging to me,

lahko pa vam povem, da je zame zelo zahtevno

kind of thinking about this concept of the future

razmišljati o tej ideji prihodnosti

and that, you know, all around the world

in da povsod po svetu

parents are kind of telling their small children,

starši nekako govorijo svojim otrokom,

please, you have to eat that, you know,

prosim, to moraš pojesti, veš,

I have slaved over a hot 3D printer all day

cel dan sem garala pri vročem 3D tiskalniku

so that you can have this meal.

zato, da imaš lahko ti ta obrok.

You know, that kind of thing.

Veste in te reči.

And of course now that we have changed, you know,

In zdaj, ko smo se spremenili, veste, na globalnem Jugu obstaja popoln

from the global South, there is this total

kind of perspective shift that is happening around the --

preobrat perspektive glede --

You can't just say to them,

Ne morete jim samo reči, no, nekje otroci stradajo.

well, there are starving children.

Well, it is the future.

Nobody is starving anymore, thank God.

To je prihodnost. Hvala bogu, nihče več ne strada.

But as you can tell I have kind of that optimism,

In kot lahko opazite sem neke vrste optimistka

and I do hope that we can continue

in res upam, da bomo lahko še naprej 3D tiskali.

to kind of 3D print,

well, let us just say I like to think that

Recimo le, da rada mislim, da bomo tudi v prihodnosti imeli objavo

even in the future we will have the publication,

kind of, you know, all the food that's fit to print.

nekako, veste, vso hrano, ki je primerna za tiskanje.

But everybody, please do enjoy that,

Ampak vsi, prosim, uživajte v tem

and again, I think that you do throw

in res, mislim, da res znate prirediti super zabavo tukaj na TED.

a cracking good party here at TED.

Thank you.

Hvala.

Next question. (Applause)

Naslednje vprašanje. (Aplavz)

What has changed? Okay, it's like,

Kaj se je spremenilo? Okej,

I have to think about that.

"What has changed now that women run the world?"

o tem moram razmisliti.

"Kaj se je spremenilo, zdaj, ko ženske vodijo svet?"

First of all,

Najprej, res hočem samo reči,

I really, like, I just want to say,

and my name is Bella,

in ime mi je Bella,

I just want to, like, identify myself,

hočem se samo identificirati,

that, like, as a feminist,

da kot feministka,

I, like, I really find that, like,

res ugotavljam da,

because I was born in the '90s,

ker sem bila rojena v devetdesetih

and, like, there were a lot of women who were

in je bilo tedaj veliko žensk, ki so bile,

as far as feminism was concerned,

kar se feminizma tiče,

like, maybe they didn't understand that, like,

mogoče niso razumele,

a feminist like me, like,

da feministka kot jaz,

I don't think it's required that you have to have

mislim, da ni potrebno, da imaš določen tip glasu,

a certain kind of voice,

or, like, a certain way of presenting yourself

ali način, kako se predstaviš, da si feministka, ker jaz mislim,

to be feminist, because I think that, like,

feminism can be really hot,

da je feminizem lahko zelo seksi

and I think actually that it's really vital and important.

in mislim, da je to zelo ključno in pomembno.

Like, the quotation I'm wearing is from, like,

Na primer, citat, ki ga nosim, je od Glorie Steinem

Gloria Steinem,

and, like, I'm named Bella for, like, Bella Abzug,

in poimenovana sem po Belli Abzug,

who's, like, obviously, like, a really important feminist from, like, history,

ki je očitno zelo pomembna feministka iz zgodovine,

and like, I just think that those women, like,

in res mislim, da te ženske

really represent, like, that you can, like,

zares predstavljajo, da si lahko ključen in osupljiv,

be vital and, like, amazing,

like, a-mazing,

mislim, totalno osupljiv

and you don't have to wear, like,

in ti ni treba nositi, recimo, kaftana znamke Eileen Fisher

an Eileen Fisher caftan,

just to, like, prove that you are a feminist.

samo zato, da dokažeš, da si feministka.

Like, not that there's anything wrong with that,

Saj ne, da je s tem kaj narobe, ampak moja mama pravi,

but my mom, she's like, like,

why do you have to wear pants that, like,

zakaj moraš nositi take hlače

objectify your body? I like my pants.

in objektivizirati svoje telo? Všeč so mi moje hlače.

Like, I like my voice.

Tako kot moj glas.

Like, she's like, why do you have to talk like —

In ona pravi, zakaj moraš govoriti kot -

Talk like what? Like, I'm expressing myself,

Govoriti kako? Izražam se

and I think that we have to, like,

in mislim, da se moramo povezati, ne samo povprek

reach out, like, not only across, like,

the different generations of feminists,

med različnimi generacijami feministk,

but also across the, like, vocal ranges,

ampak tudi prek glasovnih razponov,

so that, like, we,

zato da se,

because otherwise it's just, like,

saj je brez tega vse samo

restriculous within feminism,

strosmešno s feminizmom,

which is just, like, a word that I created

kar je beseda, ki sem si jo izmislila

that means, like, so strict it's ridiculous.

in pomeni, da je tako strogo, da je smešno.

So that's my feeling about that.

Tako jaz o tem razmišljam.

You guys are a-mazing, by the way.

Odlični ste, mimogrede.

Okay. Next question.

Okej. Naslednje vprašanje.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

["They've discovered a cure for cancer, but not baldness? What's up with that?"]

[Odkrili so zdravilo za raka, ne pa za plešavost? Kaj je s tem?]

Yeah, you know what,

Hja, veste kaj, ime mi je Joseph Mancuso.

so my name is Joseph Mancuso.

First of all, I just want to say that I appreciate

Najprej naj samo povem, da cenim,

that TED in general has been a pretty orderly crowd,

da je TED na splošno precej urejena ekipa, zelo urejena skupina.

a pretty orderly group.

And, you know, I just have to say,

Veste, moram povedati, da pri celi reči s plešavostjo,

the whole thing with baldness,

and, you know, here's the thing.

in veste, v tem je reč.

As long as the woman, in my case --

Vse dokler ženske, vsaj pri meni -- ker je to sodoben svet,

because it's a modern world,

do whatever you want to do, I don't have any problem with anybody,

počnejo, kar hočejo, nimam težav z nikomer,

enjoy yourself, LGBTQLMNOP. All right?

uživajte, LGBTQLMNOP. Prav?

Ampak kar se mene tiče,

But as far as I'm concerned,

attractiveness,

privlačnost, žensk res ne zanima, toliko kot vi mislite, da jih,

women don't really care

as much as you think they do

about the, you know.

tole, no saj veste.

I mean, I remember hearing this woman.

Spomnim se, da sem slišal neko žensko.

She loved her husband, it was the sweetest thing.

Ljubila je svojega moža, res prisrčna stvar.

It's a pretty young girl, you know?

In bila je lepa mlada ženska, veste?

And this guy's older.

In ta moški je bil starejši.

And, you know, she said she would love him

In veste, rekla je, da bi ga ljubila tudi, če bi imel sneg na strehi

even if he had snow on the roof

or even if melted and disappeared altogether.

ali pa če bi se stopil in čisto izginil.

As far as I'm concerned, it's about the love.

Kar se mene tiče, se gre tu za ljubezen.

Am I right, or am I right?

Imam prav ali imam prav?

So that's it. That's it. That's it.

In to je to. To je to. To je to.

I don't got nothing more to say.

Nič več nimam za povedati. Brišite si nos.

Keep your noses clean.

All right, next question.

Dobro, naslednje vprašanje.

"Have you ever tasted meat that's not lab grown?"

"Ste že kdaj okusili meso, ki ni bilo vzgojeno v laboratoriju?"

Um, well, I,

Hm, no, jaz,

I want to start by saying

za začetek naj povem, da je to zelo težka izkušnja

that this is a very difficult experience

for a Chinese-American.

za Američana kitajskega rodu.

I don't know what to call myself now,

Ne vem, kako naj se sedaj imenujem, ker sam imam kitajsko identiteto,

because I have really my Chinese identity,

but my kids, they are American-Chinese,

a moji otroci so že asimilirani,

but it's difficult to try to express myself

težko se je izraziti

in front of audience of people like this.

pred takim občinstvom.

But if had to give my opinion about meat,

A če moram povedati svoje mnenje o mesu,

I think first, the most important thing is to say

najprej pomislim, da je najpomembneje povedati,

that we don't have to have perfect food,

da ni treba, da imamo popolno hrano,

but maybe it can also not be poison.

a je vseeno dobro, če ni strup.

Maybe we can have some middle ground for that.

Mogoče bi lahko imeli kako srednjo možnost.

But I will continue to consider this idea,

A bom še razmišljal o tem

and I will report back maybe next year.

in se z odgovorom mogoče vrnem naslednje leto.

Next.

Naprej. Naprej. Naprej. (Aplavz)

Next. Next. (Applause)

"Will there ever be a post-racial world?"

"Ali bo kdaj obstajal svet brez ras?"

Thank you for having me.

Hvala, da me gostite tu.

My name is Gary Weaselhead. Enjoy that.

Ime mi je Gary Weaselhead. Uživajte v tem.

I'm a member of the Blackfeet Nation.

Sem član organizacije Blackfeet Nation.

I'm also half Lakota, but that is my given name,

Sem tudi pol Indijanec, ampak to je moje ime,

and no, even though it would have seemed

in ne, čeprav bi se zdela kot jasna izbira,

like an obvious choice,

no, I did not go into politics.

ne, nisem šel v politiko.

Tough crowd.

Zahtevna publika.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But I always like to just let people know

Ampak vedno rad ljudem povem, ko sprašujejo o rasah in podobnih rečeh,

when they ask about race or those kinds of things,

you know, as a member of the First Nations community,

veste, kot del skupnosti First Nations,

you know, I'm probably

veste, verjetno

not your typical guy.

nisem običajen človek.

For example, in addition to being an activist,

Na primer, poleg tega, da sem aktivist, sem tudi poklicni stand-up komik.

I'm also a professional stand-up comedian.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And, you know, I'm most popular

In veste, najbolj sem slaven

on college and university campuses.

v univerzitetnih kampusih.

You know, whenever they want to do a diversity day,

Saj veste, kadar hočejo prirediti dan raznolikosti,

or hey-we're-not-all-white week,

oziroma teden hej-tu-niso-samo-izključno-belci,

then I'm there. (Laughter)

takrat sem tam. (Smeh)

Do I think there will ever be a post-racial world?

Ali mislim, da bomo kdaj presegli rasno delitev?

I think, really, I can't talk about race

Res mislim, da ne morem govoriti o rasi,

without remembering that it is a construct

ne da bi se spomnil, da je konstrukt,

in certain respects,

v nekaterih pogledih,

but also that, you know,

ampak tudi, veste,

until we redress the wrongs of the past,

dokler ne popravimo preteklih krivic,

we're going to be turned around.

se bomo k temu vedno vračali.

I don't care if the present is the new future.

Ne briga me, če je sedanjost nova prihodnost.

I think there's a lot of great people here at TED

Mislim, da je na TED veliko dobrih ljudi, ki se ukvarjajo s tem

who are working to address that,

so with that, if anything I've said today

in zato, če sem rekel karkoli, kar vam ni bilo prijetno, ni zakaj.

makes you feel uncomfortable, you're welcome.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

I think we have time for one more.

Mislim, da imamo čas še za enega.

"What's the most popular diet these days?"

"Kaj je najbolj popularna dieta te dni?"

Who's here?

Koga imamo tu?

Okay, well, I'm just gonna answer this really fast,

Ok, na to bom odgovorila res hitro, kot trije ali štirje različni liki.

as, like, three or four different people.

I mean really fast.

In mislim res hitro.

I'm just gonna let y'all know that, as far as diet is concerned,

Naj vam samo povem, da kar se diet tiče, če se nimate radi navznoter,

if you don't love yourself inside,

there is no diet on this Earth

ni na tem svetu nobene diete, ki bi naredila vašo zadnjico dovolj majhno,

that is going to make your behind small enough

for you to feel good,

da bi se počutili dobro, zato nehajte zapravljati čas.

so just stop wasting your time.

I would just like to say as an African woman

Kot Afričanka ni rada rekla,

that I believe the diet that we need

da verjamem, da je dieta, ki jo potrebujemo,

is really to remove the crazy belief

da odpravimo noro prepričanje,

that there is anything wrong

da je kaj narobe z lepo zadnjico.

with a nice backside.

No, I am teasing about that.

Ne, šalim se.

There is nothing wrong with a woman of size.

Nič ni narobe z obilnejšimi ženskami. To hočem povedati.

That is what I am trying to say.

Women, celebrate your body, for God's sake.

Ženske, slavite svoja telesa, za božjo voljo.

Stop running around starving.

Nehajte begati naokrog in stradati. Sebe in druge delate nesrečne.

You are making yourselves and other people miserable.

Last answer.

Zadnji odgovor.

So we're talking about what's the most popular diet?

Govorimo torej o tem, kaj je najpopularnejša dieta?

I'm gonna start off by telling y'all that

Naj začnem s tem, da vam povem,

this is my first time here at TED.

da sem prvič tu na TED.

I might not be your typical person

Mogoče nisem najbolj običajna oseba, ki bi jo srečali na tem odru.

you find on this stage.

My dental work not as nice as some people.

Nimam najlepših zob, ampak dosegla sem, da je Sarah Jones obljubila,

But I made Sarah Jones promise

she gonna bring me this time,

da me bo tokrat pripeljala,

'cause she didn't bring me before,

saj me ni še nikoli prej,

but you know, I just want to say,

ampak veste, hotela sem samo reči,

there's a lot of things more important

da je veliko reči bolj pomembnih od štetja kalorij

than counting calories,

and as somebody living on the streets in New York,

in kot nekdo, ki živi na ulicah New Yorka,

and getting to come here, hear y'all ideas worth spreading,

in ki je uspel priti sem, poslušat vse ideje, vredne širjenja,

I want to tell y'all I believe in this idea

naj vam povem, da verjamem v to idejo, da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,

that the present is the new future,

that where you sit, you create everything

in da tam, kjer ste, ustvarjate vse, kar bo prišlo, dobro ali slabo.

that's gonna come, for better or worse.

And for me, I think homeless

In mislim, da je brezdomec tako ali tako napačna beseda.

is the wrong word for it anyway.

You know, I might not have me no place

Veste, mogoče nimam prostora, kamor bi lahko šla ponoči spat,

to lay my head at night,

but that just makes me houseless.

ampak zaradi tega sem samo brez hiše.

I have me a home. You do too.

Jaz imam dom. In vi tudi.

Find it and try to find yourself in there.

Poiščite ga in poskušajte v njem najti tudi sebe.

Make sure you know,

Prepričajte se, da se zavedate, da ni vse samo o virtualni resničnosti v prostoru.

it's not just about virtual reality in space.

That's wonderful, but it's also about

To je čudovito, ampak upoštevati je treba tudi pravo realnost tu na Zemlji.

the actual reality here on Earth.

How are people living today?

Kako ljudje živijo danes? Kako ste vi lahko del rešitve?

How can you be part of the solution?

Thank y'all for thinking about that

Hvala vam, da razmišljate o tem sedaj v tem trenutku

right now in the present moment

to influence the future.

zato, da boste lahko vplivali na prihodnost. To cenim. Pa-pa.

I appreciate it. Bye-bye.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

Thank you all very, very much.

Najlepša hvala vsem.

Thank you for trusting me, Chris.

In hvala, Chris, da si mi zaupal.

(Applause)
