3 - How would you describe the interaction of self-interest and mutual-interest?
4 - How would you describe the concept of money?

  • Awesome vid, both of them. Chomsky seems to apply the epitome of logic and feeling to human affairs, more than most people I have heard. If only people would just think more logically, and also examine what humans fundamentally want, as Chomsky does, they would build a better model to strive for in the future.

    May all power structures disappear, in place of voluntary and altruistic human action.

  • Great upload..

    I'd recommed all that have seen this to consider hecking out Jacque fresco and the Venus project.. The project attempts to make progress in social and environmental change...

  • Great upload.. I'd recommend all to have a look at some of jacque fresco and the Venus project.. As he poses some answers to some of our social issues.. I think the discussion of social and environmental awareness should be address in all posible manners in hopes of finding a solution.. :)

    Ps the acordian music is from Yann Thiersen..

  • Claude just died today:

    "Renowned French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss has died, aged 100. One of the most influential French intellectuals of the 20th Century, he founded the structuralist school of anthropology in the 1950s."

  • Thanks a lot for uploading this!

  • The music at the beginning of this, what is it? Sounds like Philip Glass.
