Inspiring Discussions ! - The Future of Humanity

The future of humanity: transhumanism?, a global brotherhood?, humanity mindset evolution?, ...

Since during our last discussion, many people were interested in the idea of a "global brotherhood", as alternative to "a risky balance of superpowers (that is, different brotherhoods aiming for power, but risking a catastrophic end of civilization)", initially, I was looking for TED talks about it; however, I didn't manage to find many, so I extended the topic to "The future of humanity", and would like to suggests these talks to trigger our discussion:

1. "Is humanity smart enough to survive itself?, by Jeanette Winterson":

2. "Brotherhood with all creatures is our path to a peaceful world, by Kaden Pothan":

Ps: of course, you can join our conversation without watching the videos above, and feel free to invite additional friends.

WHAT IS THIS GROUP ABOUT ?
Friends of TED is a group for people that enjoy respectful discussions on thought-provoking topics and themes - scientific and spiritual, emotional and uplifting, terrifying and eye-opening. The kind of topics that are often highlighted in TED talks.

We are not affiliated with the TED organisation, but we have their consent for this group.

Respectful discussions means listening and appreciating the points of view presented, and not just opposing, but adding to the discussion with more thoughts. It means sharing ideas, meeting interesting people, and going home with a richer perspective.

For each session we will propose a topic(s). There is no one speaker at the event - you are the listeners and speakers!

You don’t have to read up on the topic or watch the proposed TED talks, but it could help. Please let us know if you’re coming, and enjoy !
