The Third Story of the Universe | Brian Swimme | TEDxBerkeley

[@Kanoasurfer]

It’s people like Brian Swimme that move the collective forward. The Universe continues to desperately seek to understand itself. One way is through the human. Thank you Dr. Swimme for the deep insights and the context you offer. Your work will be referenced in the centuries ahead.

[@auderichard6505]

Wonderful to hear you. Thank you.

This presentation made me reflect on the role of us humans at this juncture of our planetary existence. We as a species are, seemingly, behaving so incoherently that one just hopes some co-created order will eventually emerge.

[@jageo48]

Bon chance as the Francophones say. We are so far into the 6th mass extinction that those of us who've been following Brian for 25 years, along with his writing partner, Father Thomas Berry, feel that the human has run outta time.

[@reprogram_myself]

[@LINZpassionzandtravelz]

❤ love this - shining hope

[@johnarmon7818]

Quite insightful. I wonder what the guru's in India and Tibet would think or add to this conversation?

[@thegloriousbothand]

Most would say it’s all an illusion :(

[@tracygood9866]

Wow!

[@pruddyt]

how is this not rank humanism at its worst?

[@ivanm.r.7363]

why?

[@manicdonald]

🤯

[@johnbraverman7694]

What is the public speaking strategy? Could not get into it due to first word.

[@dwai963]

Nice one :)

[@AlfredoSepulvedagbit]

Anthropocentric fantasia. This talk is so dissociated going from one anthropocentric assumption to another as to make it mystical not scientific.

[@Juliet04738]

This is the OPPOSITE of ‘anthropocentric’ surely (?!) unless it’s faith in humanity sharing in the divine spark of consciousness (created in the image of creation’s creator) which you are really taking aim at here ? You’re not “a man of faith” (at the moment..;) I guess ?

[@motivatorsid1209]

With a 3.5 cr I am the 2 one to like and watch 😅🤣wow

[@thakur5787]

Over 3cr I'm second who commented

[@cogen7996]

no facts here ...

[@SuzanneTaylorSUESpeaks]

Right. He doesn't look at the cosmos as a done deal but as an evolving body. He's not observing it, he's part of its evolution. It's not an objective story but one that makes sense of existence in a meaningful world. Let humans feel that as our energetic rather than another possibility that everything is random, no meaning, you live and you die, nothing ennobling there. What's the fact? No facts. Just sensing what story feels real to you, or just hop into the one with hope and beauty, and fingers crossed that's the one that prevails.

[@jimoneverything621]

No facts, no kidding; gibberish.

[@brayanmiranda9158]

tbh im really shocked by the slim jeans.

[@lauraelliott7441]

The same tall, lanky dude who taught my college math class 40+ years ago. It was a wild ride!

[@robertmicus4407]

What the heck is he talking about?

[@jimoneverything621]

He's talking complete gibberish.

What a pity, 'Jim'. And we know that the world is flat too.
