The Empathic Civilisation

Wow. Thinking scientifically and historically about increasing empathy. I can't think of a much better way for my mind to tackle this idea...

  1. Wow, impressive. It was quick so i had to keep pausing to keep up, and i know i need to watch it about another 10 times to totally absorb it all but wow, thats awesome. Everybody should watch that.

  2. Amazing drawing/animation to accompany the interesting argument. I'm not entirely convinced that empathy is the primary driver of the human experience (as I think his extrapolations are sizable), however it will be fascinating to see where this research leads to (without the over-reliance on evolutionary conjecture).
