RSA Animate: The Empathic Civilization


‎”Empathy is grounded in the acknowledgement of death and the celebration of life, and rooting for each other to flourish and be. It’s based on our frailties and our imperfections, so when we talk about building an empathic civilization we're not talking about building a utopia, we’re talking about the ability of human beings to show solidarity not only with each other but with our fellow creatures who have a one and only life on this little planet. We are homo-empathicus.”
