"I truly believe that humanity is a lot like me," Shah Rukh Khan told the crowd assembled for his highly anticipated talk at TED 2017 in Vancouver. In his talk, Khan drew parallels between his own meteoric rise to Bollywood fame and the explosive growth of technology and human innovation within his lifetime — as well as the existential crisis both have created. Khan addressed the TED 2017 theme of "the future you" head on, saying the most important thing humanity can do for its future is to use its capacity for love to the fullest. But it's no coincidence Khan is speaking at the main TED 2017 event in Vancouver. "Nayi soch," Khan says, translates roughly as "new way to think."
