goobers Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 http://poptech.org/popcasts/popcasts.aspx?...&viewcastid=214 I found this horribly interesting. It's about how people subconciously segregate to areas where others are like them, how they join clubs and communities that reflect themselves, where everyone has the same political view. He then discusses very briefly why this is a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 if people are "segregating" of their own free will (iow not by necessity or thru force), why is that necessarily bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hybrids become stronger and prosper. Inbreds become sickly and die. Not a bad idea, just inhumane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 We invented glasses so that the blind could see and contribute. No matter their strange and wacky ways, every niche must be filled. Humanity is all about diversity and exchange. Balance from the disparate poles of our experience. We abandon that and we divest ourselves of our humanity. Survival of the fittest is for our animal nature. It must be tamed. Otherwise we may well end up in some other specie's zoo :P . The cosmic curiosity.....the creatures that refused their birthrite through lack of understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onoway Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 "inhumane?survival of the fittest " It seemed that what he was saying, was clustering eventually leads to views of us vs them. To follow this further , then, that view potentially can lead to ideas of just what the "fittest" might be and how much value the "other" (or not fittest) has and that can lead to things such as the holocaust.It was a fascinating video thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
