TED is a non profit organization that runs conferences all over the world. They are focused solely on the task of spreading good ideas. Their website is packed with hours of lectures and short talks, as well as other content for subscribers.

TED.com contains vast amounts of information and is a perfect resource for anyone with an inquisitive mind. As an example of what to expect, here is a talk by designer Tim Brown, who talks about the similarities between creativity and play.

There are hundreds of talks to go through but to get you started go here for a talk about treating cancer with electric fields, here for a very interesting talk by Ken Robinson who claims schools kill creativity, here to see some incredible card magic by Lennart Green and here to watch Brain Greene explain string theory.
