Edgy Things

My partner and I went away for the weekend recently just for a few days relaxation away from our laptops, mobile phones and work which are our almost constant companions. As is our habit when we go away, we had done a little research online to see if there was a church nearby that we could go to on Sunday. Sadly we don't feel like we could just turn up the nearest church to our hotel and be confident that the vicar or the congregation would be comfortable to have a gay couple worshipping with them.

Religion, Evolution and the Ecstasy of Self Transcendence

Psychologist Jonathan Haidt asks a simple, but difficult question: why do we search for self-transcendence? Why do we attempt to lose ourselves? In a tour through the science of evolution by group selection, he proposes a provocative answer.

…an amazing TED talk… Well worth watching.
