The Empathic Civilization

78,883 views
We humans are soft-wired for sociability, affection, to belong, and to empathize. The question is "Can we extend our empathy to the entire human race, fellow creatures and biosphere?" If we can imagine that possibility, we can save our species and our planet! Jeremy Rifkin's talk on the empathic civilization is mapped out in a stunningly visual and cohesive way.

t is absolutely beautiful. The mind thinks and relates in pictures or forms rather than words. http://www.karmatube.org

Most people would agree with what you have said but until the people who have the power to change things agree, nothing will happen. The people with the power don't want the same things as we do.

"Soft wired" is touching. "Rooting for each other." "Extending our empathy to the entire human race, fellow creatures, the biosphere." Beautiful! Thank you. Evolution of empathy,consciousness. We are an extended family. Thank you. This is a revolution I needed to encounter today.

But what about our connection to the land, to the animals...it is all connected....

Maybe the lesson learned by examing our connectedness, our commality, the deapths of our connectiveness, will make more people aware of hopw really small the world ;really is. thank for showing me the life of our world.

it's so nice to see language that applies to everyone replace the traditional religious compassion notions, because they are hard to listen to when they are divisive. this is actual useful evolutionary plan for humanity to fulfill the same goal.

It is so true and so clever and ties so many things together that I already believe into one very neat video.

I am inspired by this to pick up again a spotty devotion to Buddhism-inspired training of my heart and mind.

Perhaps part of the problem right now is the strong influence of pathology-based religions (such as American evangelical Christianity) that denigrate earthly life and focus on their imagination of an afterlife. They have dissolved the concept of mortality.
