Felix explores how and why humans stereotype and categorise, an instinct which he argues was once a biological necessity, but is having a negative effect on society.

My name is Felix, I am 16 years old and live in Bussum. I am a big fan of reading, drawing, acting and all the arts in general. As for hobbies, I like active sports as I find much pleasure in skating-boarding, soccer, dancing etc. I am also a typical Mr. talk-a-lot, and am not afraid of a debate about a topic I’m interested in. 

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
