I agree with this on so many levels. Rather than separating ourselves into groups, we need to learn forms of embracing cultural diversity while still remaining as one group. One race. The human race. This would eliminate prejudices rather than giving a basis for magnifying these differences. Polarization of race, SES, culture, etc are all used to divide human beings into subgroups. Which cultivates the separation necessary for prejudice. The insider/outsider group experience would be eliminated by just this one action. Admitting that we are all one race of human beings, connected through 99.9% shared DNA. There are species without metacognition who are considered as related with ALOT less similar DNA. Why is human DNA not calculated by the same terms? Then we have this DNA testing which furthers the belief that we are of a different race. These are geographically represented differences examined through statistically represented clusters of that specific difference in the DNA sequence. If you understand what that means... it means there is no sub species or sub race (ethnicity) of humans. There are different representations of an almost identical DNA sequence, based on geographical evolution of that DNA sequence, in order to survive in a given environment. That does not equal a different race or sub species.. it equals a different environment that the same species is evolving in. Think Darwin. We are one people with one goal. Your health is my health (spiritually, emotionally, physically), if Covid didn't teach us that, then nothing ever will. We are all connected like it or not. By harming others, we harm ourselves.

Just fabulous. And what an amazing, compelling speaker.

Great guy, great talk. Curious that the bit about "we" on the left not ceding spirituality to "them" on the right got big mid-talk applause ...

I like. Our identity = who we are, not what we are or what we have.

This has to be our future humans!

This is such a good talk, that my college professor is making us write papers about this talk for class . . . But the the constant uhms are very distracting . . .
