(C) Videos

I don't know how much time you have this evening, but how often do you get to "watch the internet" and write it off as "learning"?

A few videos:

• RSA: Crisis of Captialism - David Harvey asks if it is time to look beyond capitalism towards a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that really could be responsible, just, and humane.


• TED: John Maeda on the simple life (Also on youtube). Just watch and enjoy until about the 12:00 mark. Watch the "cookie vs. laundry" bit and how age affects your functioning. Record your thoughts on what this all means. (You could also go to lawsofsimplicity.com - Read and record the ten laws and three keys. Write your thoughts about the laws or keys that strike you, and all of it in concert.)



• RSA: First as Tragedy, Then as Farce renowned philosopher Slavoj Zizek investigates the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving.

All of these videos have alternate views, some of which are linked directly from the links in the sidebar. Feel free to get the opposing viewpoints and draw your own conclusions; remember, think for yourself and with your heart.
