http://www.ted.com Why do societies fail? With lessons from the Norse of Iron Age Greenland, deforested Easter Island and present-day Montana, Jared Diamond talks about the signs that collapse is near, and how -- if we see it in time -- we can prevent it.
We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet -- having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art -- while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival.
What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize--winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world...and the means to irrevocably destroy it.

Jared Diamond articulately spelled out how his best-selling book, COLLAPSE, took shape.
At first it was going to be a book of 18 chapters chronicling 18 collapses of once-powerful societies--- the Mayans with the most advanced culture in the Americas, the Anasazi who built six-story skyscrapers at Chaco, the Norse who occupied Greenland for 500 years. But he wanted to contrast those with success stories like Tokugawa-era Japan, which wholly reversed its lethal deforestation, and Iceland, which learned to finesse a highly fragile and subtle environment...

Jared Diamond, Professor, UCLA; Author, Guns, Germs and Steel, Collapse and The World Until Yesterday
In conversation with Kishore Hari, Director, Bay Area Science Festival
Jared Diamond is a scientist known for drawing from a variety of fields, from anthropology to evolutionary biology. He has published several popular science books, including Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel and, most recently, The World Until Yesterday. Diamond’s conclusions are critical and provocative, exploring concepts like how humans evolved to be so different from animals, despite sharing over 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, and why Eurasian peoples conquered Native Americans and Africans instead of vice versa. Diamond yet again challenges the way our brains think in The World Until Yesterday as he chronicles tribal peoples and what they can teach us about the shortcomings of modern society. Join us for a night of intellectual stimulation with one of the world’s most celebrated polymaths.

There's an irony behind the latest efforts to extend human life: It's no picnic to be an old person in a youth-oriented society. Older people can become isolated, lacking meaningful work and low on funds. In this intriguing talk, Jared Diamond looks at how many different societies treat their elders -- some better, some worse -- and suggests we all take advantage of mature experience.

Jared Mason Diamond (born September 10, 1937) is an American scientist and author best known for his popular science books The Third Chimpanzee, Guns, Germs, and Steel, and Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Originally trained in physiology, Diamond's work is known for drawing from a variety of fields, and he is currently Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Diamond was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to a Bessarabian Jewish family. His father Louis K. Diamond was a physician and his mother Flora Kaplan a teacher, musician, and linguist. He attended the Roxbury Latin School and earned an A.B. from Harvard College in 1958 and a Ph.D. in physiology and membrane biophysics from the University of Cambridge in 1961.
After graduating from Cambridge, Diamond returned to Harvard as a Junior Fellow until 1965, and, in 1968, became Professor of Physiology at UCLA Medical School. While in his twenties, he developed a second, parallel, career in ornithology and ecology, specialising in New Guinea and nearby islands. Then in his fifties, Diamond developed a third career in environmental history and became Professor of Geography at UCLA, his current position. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1999 and an honorary doctorate by Westfield State University in 2009.

Jared Diamond Talks Evolution and the Future of HumanityJared Diamond Talks Evolution and the Future of Humanity
In his 1991 book The Third Chimpanzee, Pulitzer Prize winning author Jared Diamond explores how humans fit among other animal species and also what sets us apart. He explains how we have evolved in our behaviors to perpetuate our genes to future generations, how and why we developed language, culture, and art, and what the future holds for the human race given our evolutionary past. The Third Chimpanzee has been newly reissued for young adults in April 2014. Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Prof. Diamond in his Los Angeles home about the book.

Famous quotes by Jared Diamond:
"We study the injustices of history for the same reason that we study genocide, and for the same reason that psychologists study the minds of murderers and rapists... to understand how those evil things came about."
"Tasmanian history is a study of human isolation unprecedented except in science fiction - namely, complete isolation from other humans for 10,000 years."
"Even to this day, no native Australian animal species and only one plant species-the macadamia nut-have proved suitable for domestication. There still are no domestic kangaroos."
"Differences between the Old and New Worlds in domesticated plants,especially in large-seeded cereals, are qualitatively similar to the differences in domesticated mammals, though the difference is not so extreme."
"How is it that Pizarro and Cortes reached the New World at all, before Aztec and Inca conquistadors could reach Europe? That outcome depended partly on technology in the form of oceangoing ships. Europeans had such ships, while the Aztecs and Incas did not."
"Most people are explicitly racists. In parts of the world - so called educated, so-called western society - we've learned that it is not polite to be racist, and so often we don't express racist views, but... Racism is one of the big issues in the world today. Racism is the big social problem in the United States."
"Humans have been evolving for millions of years longer in Africa than in Europe, and even anatomically modern Homo sapiens may have reached Europe from Africa only within the last 50,000 years. If time were a critical factor in the development of human societies, Africa should have enjoyed an enormous head start and advantage over Europe."
"Native Americans had only stone and wooden weapons and no animals that could be ridden. Those military advantages repeatedly enabled troops of a few dozen mounted Spaniards to defeat Indian armies numbering in the thousands."
"Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today."
"It's striking that Native Americans evolved no devastating epidemic diseases to give to Europeans, in return for the many devastating epidemic diseases that Indians received from the Old World."
"I'd rather spend my leisure time doing what some people call my work and I call my fun."
"Take air quality in the United States today: It's about 30 percent better than it was 25 years ago, even though there are now more people driving more cars."
"Technology has to be invented or adopted."
"I personally am not conscious of my accent."
"Twenty years ago, you might have been pessimistic and said there's no hope. But these days, some of our very biggest companies are acting remarkably cleanly. And in some cases, although not all cases, the CEOs are the driving forces behind that."
"Some people have much more pull than other people. But when I say that the public has ultimate responsibility, I'm not saying it in a moral sense. I'm just saying it in the sense of what is it that's really going to bring change."
"No government is here forever. And there are other forces - the most potent force in our society, in fact, big business - doing good for the environment."
"We're uncomfortable about considering history as a science. It's classified as a social science, which is considered not quite scientific."
"I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history."
"Thousands of years ago, humans domesticated every possible large wild mammal species fulfilling all those criteria and worth domesticating, with the result that there have been no valuable additions of domestic animals in recent times, despite the efforts of modern science."

Jared Diamond: "The Third Chimpanzee" | Talks at Google
We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet -- having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art -- while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize--winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world...and the means to irrevocably destroy i... -

Jared Diamond - How Societies Fail-And Sometimes Succeed - Long Now Foundation
Jared Diamond articulately spelled out how his best-selling book, COLLAPSE, took shape. At first it was going to be a book of 18 chapters chronicling 18 collapses of once-powerful societies--- the Mayans with the most advanced culture in the Americas, the Anasazi who built six-story skyscrapers at Chaco, the Norse who occupied Greenland for 500 years. But he wanted to contrast those with success stories like Tokugawa-era Japan, which wholly reversed its lethal deforestation, and Iceland, which learned to finesse a highly fragile and subtle environment...

He has published several popular science books, including Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel and, most recently, The World Until Yesterday. Diamond’s conclusions are critical and provocative, exploring concepts like how humans evolved to be so different from animals, despite sharing over 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, and why Eurasian peoples conquered Native Americans and Africans instead of vice versa.

Jared Diamond: How societies can grow old better
There's an irony behind the latest efforts to extend human life: It's no picnic to be an old person in a youth-oriented society. Older people can become isolated, lacking meaningful work and low on funds. In this intriguing talk, Jared Diamond looks at how many different societies treat their elders -- some better, some worse -- and suggests we all take advantage of mature experience.

Jared Diamond Talks Evolution and the Future of Humanity
In his 1991 book The Third Chimpanzee, Pulitzer Prize winning author Jared Diamond explores how humans fit among other animal species and also what sets us apart. He explains how we have evolved in our behaviors to perpetuate our genes to future generations, how and why we developed language, culture, and art, and what the future holds for the human race given our evolutionary past. The Third Chimpanzee has been newly reissued for young adults in April 2014. Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Prof. Diamond in his Los Angeles home about the book. -

The Risks of The Everyday - with Jared Diamond
How dangerous is taking a shower? Jared Diamond shares what he learnt about risk from the tribes of Papua New Guinea. This audio is taken from a 2013 conversation, ‘The world until yesterday’. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/ceLuaf7low4 Pullitzer Prize-winner Jared Diamond discusses how insights from the lifestyles of far-removed cultures can impact the way we think about our own lives. Is it worth worrying about the risk of everyday actions like falling in the shower or tripping on the street? Each time you do these things, the risk of mishap is low, but we do them every single day. Over time, does that mean these tiny risks accumulate to become almost inevitable?

Jared Diamond, Professor, UCLA; Author, Guns, Germs and Steel, Collapse and The World Until Yesterday
In conversation with Kishore Hari, Director, Bay Area Science Festival
Jared Diamond is a scientist known for drawing from a variety of fields, from anthropology to evolutionary biology. He has published several popular science books, including Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel and, most recently, The World Until Yesterday. Diamond’s conclusions are critical and provocative, exploring concepts like how humans evolved to be so different from animals, despite sharing over 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, and why Eurasian peoples conquered Native Americans and Africans instead of vice versa. Diamond yet again challenges the way our brains think in The World Until Yesterday as he chronicles tribal peoples and what they can teach us about the shortcomings of modern society. Join us for a night of intellectual stimulation with one of the world’s most celebrated polymaths.

There's an irony behind the latest efforts to extend human life: It's no picnic to be an old person in a youth-oriented society.

How dangerous is taking a shower? Jared Diamond shares what he learnt about risk from the tribes of Papua New Guinea. This audio is taken from a 2013 conversation, ‘The world until yesterday’. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/ceLuaf7low4
Pullitzer Prize-winner Jared Diamond discusses how insights from the lifestyles of far-removed cultures can impact the way we think about our own lives. Is it worth worrying about the risk of everyday actions like falling in the shower or tripping on the street? Each time you do these things, the risk of mishap is low, but we do them every single day. Over time, does that mean these tiny risks accumulate to become almost inevitable?
This animation is based on audio from a 2013 event at the Royal Institution with Jared Diamond. You can watch the full discussion on how tribal societies offer an extraordinary window into how our ancestors lived here: https://youtu.be/ceLuaf7low4

Are We Sexual Omnivores? | Christopher Ryan | TED Talks
An idea permeates our modern view of relationships: that men and women have always paired off in sexually exclusive relationships. But before the dawn of agriculture, humans may actually have been quite promiscuous. Author Christopher Ryan walks us through the controversial evidence that human beings are sexual omnivores by nature, in hopes that a more nuanced understanding may put an end to discrimination, shame and the kind of unrealistic expectations that kill relationships.

Put a value on Nature! Pavan Sukhdev TED Talk
Every day, we use materials from the earth without thinking, for free. But what if we had to pay for their true value: would it make us more careful about what we use and what we waste? Think of Pavan Sukhdev as nature's banker -- assessing the value of the Earth's assets.

Richard Dawkins: Militant atheism
http://www.ted.com Biologist Richard Dawkins launches into a full-on appeal for atheists to make public their beliefs and to aggressively fight the incursion of religion into politics and education. Dawkins' scornful tone drew strongly mixed reactions from the audience; some stood and applauded his courage. Others wondered whether his strident approach could do more harm than good. Dawkins went on to publish The God Delusion and become perhaps the world's best-known atheist.

An idea permeates our modern view of relationships: that men and women have always paired off in sexually exclusive relationships. But before the dawn of agriculture, humans may actually have been quite promiscuous. Author Christopher Ryan walks us through the controversial evidence that human beings are sexual omnivores by nature, in hopes that a more nuanced understanding may put an end to discrimination, shame and the kind of unrealistic expectations that kill relationships.

My hopes are to create a small series based on the inspirations in my life, however big or small they may be. I started with our planet, Earth, because it seemed like a good place to start.
With the help of Jared Diamond as narrator, music by Sigur Ros, and imagery from various sources, I hope to convey a rather simple message.
I am a student of natural science at a university, and this is my first attempt to make a video using Final Cut Pro.

At some point during the last 100,000 years, humans began exhibiting traits and behavior that distinguished us from other animals, eventually creating language, art, religion, bicycles, spacecraft and nuclear weapons—all within a heartbeat of evolutionary time.
Now, faced with the threat of nuclear weapons and the effects of climate change, it seems our innate tendencies for violence and invention have led us to a crucial tipping point. Where did these traits come from? Are they part of our species' immutable destiny? Or is there hope for our species' future if we change?
Join Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer-winning author of "Guns, Germs and Steel," for an enlightened discussion about and for the next generation and the future they'll help build.

Why did Vikings never establish permanent settlements in America?
In this video I'm trying to answer the question why Vikings left America instead of establishing a permanent settlement. I'm not a historian but I'll quote my sources so that you can check for yourself if you're interested. As far as I can see there are 3 main reasons why the Vikings failed to colonize what they called Vinland: 1.) Their difference in technology compared to the natives was not high enough to compensate for their lack of numbers, and fighting threatened to wear them down. The presence of a substantial local population also made Vinland a lot less appealing than Iceland or Greenland. 2.) Norway at the time was not wealthy enough to provide the same support as Spain did in the 16th century 3.) The exploration did not enjoy backup by a centralized government, it was basica... -

Charles Darwin, Jared Diamond Part 2
I know that I said "Origin of THE Species" at least once in here; and that I said Huxley wrote a book to Darwin, when I meant he wrote him a letter; I'm sure we can find more but cut me some slack, please. Maybe one of the two remaining thumbnails for this series will show me with my eyes open! -
SEGRE LECTURE: What Makes Up The Dark Matter Of Our Universe
Speaker: Blas Cabrera, Professor of Physics, Stanford University Through cosmology and particle physics we review our understanding of how our universe came into existence. Of particular interest is what makes up dark matter the source of all structure formation. Direct detection experiments such as CDMS search directly for dark matter particles passing through the laboratory, indirect detection experiments such as GLAST/Fermi look for gamma rays from dark matter particle-antiparticle annihilations, and accelerators such as the LHC at CERN may soon provide direct evidence for the structure of particle physics in dark matter sector. http://physics.berkeley.edu/ -
Vintage Live Annual Lecture 2015: Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari: Does History Have a Direction? Is history just a random accumulation of accidents, or is it going in some definitive direction? This first Vintage Lecture by Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens, explores three possible directions of human history: power, unity and happiness. As history unfolded, humankind has become ever more powerful. When history kick-started about 70,000 years ago, Homo sapiens was an insignificant ape in East Africa. Today we are the rulers of the planet, and soon we might upgrade ourselves into gods. As history unfolded, humankind has become ever more united. Back in the Stone Age, humans lived in isolated tribes, and planet earth was an entire galaxy of separate human worlds. Today all humans are part of a single system. There are no longer any... -
Paul Bloom lectures "Against Empathy"
Paul Bloom draws upon his research into psychopathy, criminal behavior, charitable giving, infant cognition, cognitive neuroscience and Buddhist meditation practices to argue that empathy is a poor moral guide and we are better off without it. Bloom is Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology and Chair of the Cognitive Science Program at Yale University, and author of "Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil" (Crown Publishers, 2013). His lecture at Holy Cross, held September 24, 2015, is one of the Deitchman Family Lectures on Religion and Modernity.

In this video I'm trying to answer the question why Vikings left America instead of establishing a permanent settlement. I'm not a historian but I'll quote my sources so that you can check for yourself if you're interested.
As far as I can see there are 3 main reasons why the Vikings failed to colonize what they called Vinland:
1.) Their difference in technology compared to the natives was not high enough to compensate for their lack of numbers, and fighting threatened to wear them down. The presence of a substantial local population also made Vinland a lot less appealing than Iceland or Greenland.
2.) Norway at the time was not wealthy enough to provide the same support as Spain did in the 16th century
3.) The exploration did not enjoy backup by a centralized government, it was basically just individuals making the decision to explore this new land. Which made internal conflict among the settlers quite devastating.

Religie is door mensen gemaakt concept, en ondanks dat het door de "gelovige" wordt ervaren als gunstig voor zichzelf, is het ontzettend schadelijk voor de eendracht en positieve ontwikkeling van de wereld. Discussieer mee.
Religion is a man-made concept, and despite being felt by the "believer" to be beneficial to themselves, is overwhelmingly detrimental to world cohesion and positive development.
Vertaalnoten:
- 4:10 'Faith' is moeilijk te vertalen naar het Nederlands, omdat het niet alleen 'geloof' maar ook '(blind/onbetwist) vertrouwen' kan betekenen in het Engels.

A guide to Home-Scale Permaculture - Toby Hemenway, author of Gaias Garden
A guide to Home-Scale Permaculture. Tobys book (for the past 6 years) has been the worlds best-selling book on permaculture, a design approach based on ecology for creating sustainable landscapes, homes, communities, and workplaces. He is also an adjunct professor in the School of Graduate Education at Portland State University, Scholar in Residence at Pacific University, and a biologist consultant for the Biomimicry Guild. Toby teaches, consults, and lectures on permaculture and ecological design throughout the US and other countries. His writing has appeared in magazines such as: Whole Earth Review, Natural Home, and Kitchen Gardener. He lives in Portland, Oregon, where he is developing sites and resources for urban sustainability. Make plans to purchase your copy of Gaias Garden at the Roundup.
Toby Hemenway will be our Friday keynote speaker. Tobys talk is titled, How Permaculture Can Save Humanity and the Earth, but not Civilization and will explain what permaculture is and how it can help us to live sustainably.
Pulitzer-prize winning author Jared Diamond calls it the worst mistake in the history of the human race. Founder of permaculture Bill Mollison says it can destroy whole landscapes. Are they describing nuclear energy? Suburbia? Coal mining? No. They are talking about agriculture.Its not just that farming in its current industrial manifestation is destroying topsoil and biodiversity. Agriculture in any form is inherently unsustainable. At its doorstep can also be laid our cultures split between people and nature, much disease and poor health, and the origins of class inequality and police states.
Those are big claims, and this lecture will explore them, showing that new fuels and high technology are not the way out of the dilemma that agriculture has gotten us into. However, there are ways to live sustainably on the Earth without going back to the Stone Age. Many societies have lived in harmony with other species and yet have developed art, music, philosophy, medicine, and the other hallmarks of a rich culture. What many of them have in common looks a lot like what today is known as permaculture, an ecological design approach based on knowledge gained from nature. Tobys lecture will show us what makes agriculture, and the industrial society that relies on it, fundamentally unsustainable, and how permaculture offers us a better way.

Speaker: Blas Cabrera, Professor of Physics, Stanford University
Through cosmology and particle physics we review our understanding of how our universe came into existence. Of particular interest is what makes up dark matter the source of all structure formation. Direct detection experiments such as CDMS search directly for dark matter particles passing through the laboratory, indirect detection experiments such as GLAST/Fermi look for gamma rays from dark matter particle-antiparticle annihilations, and accelerators such as the LHC at CERN may soon provide direct evidence for the structure of particle physics in dark matter sector.

Yuval Noah Harari: Does History Have a Direction?
Is history just a random accumulation of accidents, or is it going in some definitive direction? This first Vintage Lecture by Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens, explores three possible directions of human history: power, unity and happiness.
As history unfolded, humankind has become ever more powerful. When history kick-started about 70,000 years ago, Homo sapiens was an insignificant ape in East Africa. Today we are the rulers of the planet, and soon we might upgrade ourselves into gods.
As history unfolded, humankind has become ever more united. Back in the Stone Age, humans lived in isolated tribes, and planet earth was an entire galaxy of separate human worlds. Today all humans are part of a single system. There are no longer any independent countries or authentic cultures, and everyone – Americans, Chinese, Israelis and Iranians – view physics, biology, economics and even politics in a similar way.
As history unfolded, did humans become happier? Is the average person today happier than in ancient or medieval times? Whereas the story of human power and unity is relatively straightforward, the story of human happiness is far less clear. There are good reasons to suspect that we are far more powerful and united than our ancestors – but not much happier.
The lecture builds on Yural Noah Harari’s remarkable book Sapiens, in which he examines the whole of human history. 100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
