This is great stuff, this is the knowledge that should be advocated in the class rooms, or a requiremental study for anyone wanting to bring children into this world. So many of our commonly held beliefs in our society simply do not make sense when viewed objectivly, as Dr. Made points out so efficiently in this lecture and his other seminars. We need to take a step back, and view all aspects of our development from a biopsychosocial perspective, where all things are interrelated.

@TheBookArchive I got the impression that in his presentation there is a sort of "good" past "bad" present motif, and, to my best knowledge, it is not so as I tried to illustrate.

@Elivasfq it has to do with their childhood and culture. Similar to today and tomorrow.

Great talk, on some points he has slightly overstretched his theory and is a bit to "nostalgic" of our past. People loved gore and violence since antiquity, and loved the stuff about relationships as well (read Shakespeare – relationships and insane violence all over, and is great). We must remember also that our ancestors were as violent as we are or more so. And people always did plenty of risky behavior.Also parents lose points because the kids are more technologically savvy then the parents

A genius with the guts to go around talking about what he knows to be the truth... I love it, and he inspires me to be the best parent I can to my daughter, for her sake!

Thank you. Great topic, very sad that I have no idea what your conclusion was due to the sound dropping out. However, you have given a great deal of food for thought. Take care. Brett.

great great stuff, really good! just the microphone was probably the most annoying thing ever! if he wasnt so intresting and intellectual, i would have turned this off the second time the mic started making those noises and cutting out every 3 min... fucking ey... wish the quality was better.

Being alone & isolated is depressing. I wish you the very best in the hope that one day you will indeed find that which we all seek, family & community.  Don't lose hope.
