Robert Wright on optimism | Video on TED.com
We are all in this together - Wright says that a moral revolution is required for humanity to survive the current crises. An awareness that our fate is tied to the fate of others, even to those who may hate us, could help us want to try to understand why they feel as they do, and help us respond in ways that respect their humanity. They may become more able to see our humanity, too, when we go down this path of trying to understand, to see from the others' perspective... "All the salvation of the world requires is the intelligent pursuit of self-interest, in a disciplined, careful way."
