Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling, and the Making of Cultures | Antonio Damasio

Can societies finally succeed at introducing, by secular or religious means, an intelligent and well-rewarded form of altruism such that it would replace the self-absorption that now reigns? What will it take for such efforts to succeed?

The Usefulness of the Useless | Nuccio Ordine

What a pleasure it was to hear Nuccio Ordine speak this morning at a literature festival that Barcelona is hosting this weekend.
Ordine's talk was intense, empowering and delightful. His life-long work is based around advocating for the humanities and liberal arts as a necessity for individual development in a society in a world that measures its worth based on capital growth.
I highly recommend checking him out.
I also got my book signed 😍

Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling, and the Making of Cultures | Antonio Damasio

After a dense and rather repetitive introduction to the hypothesis, this becomes a fascinating account of feelings as a motive force in the evolution of the human species and its cultures.

Kalalalatja I have read some of Damasio‘s research for uni, and his writing was so repetitive, dense and confusing. 6y

Moray_Reads @Kalalalatja I found some of the chapters like that, especially early on when he was setting it out. That was actually more confusing that just jumping in at the deep-end. Also, as a non-scientist some of the things he was suggesting were so self-evident (to me) that I could have done without the justifications! 😅 6y
