  • I think there is a very different element to Super Kindness as proposed by Professor Isbell. Mankind is an aggressive species, with added to that an enormous technical prowess to inflict damage to other members. This in turn calls for an intricate system for 'keeping the peace'. Anticipating conflict and defusing escalation might be of prime importance in survival.

  • A short explanation like 10 minutes with a final response of yes or no would've been nice. Maybe I have a short attention span but an hour twenty one minutes.. 80% which will be forgotten because our brains only absorb so much, seems very tedious.
