Interesting video. I'm not unfamiliar with the ideas.
What are we humans suppose to do with those ideas though? What practical application is there for them?
I don't know if we can evolve into anything kinder. I just think we have to work toward making things better.
There is no way for people to acknowledge a perceived truth as a group and do anything useful unless it is to join a proactive group such as humanitarian aid and wildlife conservation groups.
Otherwise it's just an intellectual safari that leads people right back to where they started.
....because once a perceived truth is recognized by more than five people in close contact with each other, and they do not find a practical helpful application for it, they become something like a religion, group,cult, following or whatever.
People will make up rules and enforce ways of thinking. It either becomes restrictive and oppressive or crude and freely indulgent.
People for the most part are group minded and they will start acting and thinking within the constructs they have put forth and they lose the very thing they sought to find.
Well maybe monks and Buddhists can but still they devote 100 % of their life to overcoming inertia and as far as I know they aren't producing any baby Buddhas. (baby Buddhas? lol)
We can't evolve as species just by acknowledging a perceived truth. We can perceive it and appreciate it but we don't have the tools to be internally conscious of it for more than a few seconds.At least I don't.
