"Evolutionize Your Life" pt 2 of 2, with Michael Dowd

Part 2 (final) of a 2-part series narrated by "evolutionary evangelist" Michael Dowd. Part 1 is at:
http://youtu.be/loBx1Xd2m-M

Here the two primary topics explored are (1) an evolutionary understanding of DEATH as "natural and generative at every level of reality -- and no less sacred than life, and (2) the trajectory of BIG HISTORY, focusing on innovations that enable cooperation at ever greater scales -- and thereby the growth of complexity.

Dowd also celebrates the great popularizers of an inspirational view of mainstream evolution, including cosmic evolution. Examples are shown of the great work of Neil de Grasse Tyson (his extemporaneous and powerful "sermon" at the Beyond Belief conference) and a collage of other science celebrants (incl Carl Sagan) autotuned and set to music by John Boswell (aka Symphony of Science).
