In this talk, I will tell the story of the red button. This is a humorous, emotional and investigative story detailing a true experience that I had of a red button that was next to a mains socket on the wall behind the TV in a flat in Shanghai. It tore me to pieces trying to figure out what the button was for. But yet, my fiancee was not curious in the slightest about it. How could we both have such different curiosity levels?
