Sam Richards - A Radical Experiment In Empathy

Sam Richards delivers one of the most thought-provoking TEDtalks where he challenges the viewer to participate in a radical and emotional exercise in empathy.

Richards' leads us through this sociological experiment so that we could better understand the "other" people beyond our immediate political-social proximity. You may find his talk mentally exhausting as he unapologetically touches on sensitive political topics, but if you allow yourself to open your mind and step outside of your own preconceived socio-cultural constructs, I guarantee that you will experience something new. True empathy has the power to destroy and reconstruct the way you perceive yourself and the culture of which you are a part. Learn how to understand your fellow human.

Be Enlightened. Change your Heart. Change the World.

The Transformational Life: Robb Smith // Zion I & The Grouch - Digital Dirt

In this exceedingly busy world, the pace of life seems to generate more and more momentum everyday. We now live in a society filled with smart phones and dumb people. In a society overrun by constant distractions and information overload, sometimes it feels impossible to cope. Technology has become modern culture's gift and curse, but in reality it is up to each one of us as individuals when it comes to how we let it affect our own lives.

As a new response, we must learn how to slow down and unplug ourselves from the network. We must retrain ourselves how to listen intently, read entirely and remember consciously.

Hannah Fry - Is Life Really That Complex?

In our lives and in our collective realities, everything is connected to everything. That which we experience and observe resemble an infinite loop of analogy after analogy. When we step back from our inherent perspectives and think outside the proverbial box, we see a chain of microcosm within microcosm within microcosm all the way from the vastness of the universe down to the smallest microscopic organism. 

Is Life really that complex? It is and it isn't. Perhaps it is because of this we find a thread of universal beauty and wonderment woven throughout all things within our human experience: large, small, and everything in between.



The universe is within you :)
