Homo Sapiens. A highly intellectual species living on Planet Earth. Can be identified by opposable thumbs, a large neocortex and the ability to walk upright – and the incessant need to complain and condescend.
What makes this species tick? Why do we think what we think? What connects our ideas, thoughts and actions; and where does the disconnect lie? How has the human consciousness changed and evolved over the years, owing to our insatiable desire to grow and innovate and live better lives? Where do we stand today, compared to the past few decades, or even centuries? What does the future have in store for us?
Let us delve into the human condition. I will cover a wide variety of topics which touch our lives today; such as philosophy, technology, socioeconomics and even theology. Together, we will attempt to dissect the human mind with the view of understanding ourselves better so we can be better and do better. I hope you make the most of this journey with me!
