Ok peoples. You must watch this documentary. *I am* blown away/so inspired (also bemused that it was made by director of my childhood fav/ridiculous movie Ace Ventura)...It interviews incredible contemporary thinkers/doers, interweaves the directors compelling story, and scientifically proves if you need proof everything we intuitively know. Just a few highlights: *Discusses question, Is basic human nature cooperative or competitive? (Answer: the basis of nature is cooperation and democracy.) When Darwin wrote Descent of Man he wrote about survival of the fittest twice and wrote much more about love. (Darwin was widely/publicly interpreted by a man named Hoxley who had a gloomier view, thus why we know more about survival of the fittest theory.) *The truth of who we are is that we are because we belong (all connected). *The accumulation of private property beyond your needs was considered mental illness to indigenous and native peoples...There is a law of nature that today mankind breaks every day: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. *No evidence that war comes out of some innate human need. *People who scoff at non-violence should be given historical examples of its power and efficacy. *Love is a force that has power.
