Human Behaviour

[LadyDeliah]

In the wake of the uprising and violence of the past week, I found myself becoming quite depressed by the extreme reaction of the 'normal' people to these extraordinary events.

I am someone who likes to look for logical reasons for things and for workable solutions, so I think it is important to try understand the deeper causes of the unrest.

is very interseting and goes some way, in my opinion to explain some of the issues in this complex issue., so I thought I'd sdhare it with the good folk of ED.

I only did the first 20 mins but some very thought-provoking stuff already, thanks for sharing.. I will come back to it later.

[LadyDeliah]

Glad you enjoyed it. Some of his solutions are a bit far out, but I thought it was an interesting film in anycase.

[Frankito]

But we are never going to agree with everything that is said are we..? Considering other people's opinions, in my humble opinion, is as valid as presenting them..

I liked his monopoly analogy.

Oh and the background music is very engaging too.. Quite a clever choice as it fits well with the content.

[LadyDeliah]

Yes, I agree. I don't like categories and labels of ideas. I like to take the bits I agree with and add it to my own mental map of the universe.

I loved the Monopoly board analogy too....but also haven't got through all of it yet. Will come back when I have. Thanks for posting it LadyD.

I didn't realise it was 2.5 hours long.. what for later...

[LadyDeliah]

Lol, it is long, sorry.

Some good stuff towards the end too and a few nice ideas about scientific solutions to our problems, but I don't agree that there doesn't need to be a political structure.

I'm a bit of a politics geek, so I would say that though anyway!

My life's busy. If you want to change my world view you're going to have to do it in no more than 15mins or 1000 words.

[LadyDeliah]

Lol, it's pretty good. I don't agree with it all, but it does have a lot of thought provoking stuff in there, honest!
