I live in Argentina and I'm making my way as a ludologist. I'm also currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in cultural diversity with a focus on ancestral games, which complements my work in ludology. I love being part of the TED and TEDx communities because they allow me to cross borders and address issues from different perspectives, in a friendly, pluricentric and multipolar way. Through these platforms, I've had the opportunity to meet meaningful people and forge lasting friendships.

The power of global brainstorming comes from creating a safe space where people with different ideas can share, blend, and extend their diverse knowledge. Suggested reading: Alex Osborn's Applied Imagination; Andrew Hargadon's How Breakthroughs Happen.

A colleague of mine sent me a link to the awesome presentation by Barry Schwartz on the paradox of choice. I really liked that presentation and thought that I needed to put Spanish subtitles on it so it could be accessible and shared on the Internet by a broader audience... and so I did. Plus, I discovered that my interests matched with the TED Translators, and that's how I got to TED.

Mentorship and playful thinking. I can come up with unexpected ideas because I think there's always more than one way to connect the dots.
