Rethinking the Human Narrative

~~~~
A video by Jeremy Rifkin
~~~~

Rifkin believes that humans are "soft-wired" not for aggression, violence, self-interest or utilitarianism but for such qualities as sociability, attachment, affection and companionship - and that the "first drive" is an empathic one - the drive to belong.

This really is an amazing video and a beautiful message.
 


Is it possible we could actually extend our empathy to the entire human race as an extended family and to our fellow creatures as part of our evolutionary family and to the biosphere as our common community?

What do you think?
