\/>_p_GKCr8rq8?start=11&amp;end=365<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So we humans have an extraordinary potential for goodness, but also an immense power to do harm. Any tool can be used to build or to destroy. That all depends on our motivation. Therefore, it is all the more important to foster an altruistic motivation rather than a selfish one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So now we indeed are facing many challenges in our times. Those could be personal challenges. Our own mind can be our best friend or our worst enemy. There&#8217;s also societal challenges: poverty in the midst of plenty, inequalities, conflict, injustice. And then there are the new challenges, which we don&#8217;t expect. Ten thousand years ago, there were about five million human beings on Earth. Whatever they could do, the Earth&#8217;s resilience would soon heal human activities. After the Industrial and Technological Revolutions, that&#8217;s not the same anymore. We are now the major agent of impact on our Earth. We enter the Anthropocene, the era of human beings. So in a way, if we were to say we need to continue this endless growth, endless use of material resources, it&#8217;s like if this man was saying &#8212; and I heard a former head of state, I won&#8217;t mention who, saying &#8212; &#8220;Five years ago, we were at the edge of the precipice. Today we made a big step forward.&#8221; So this edge is the same that has been defined by scientists as the planetary boundaries. And within those boundaries, they can carry a number of factors. We can still prosper, humanity can still prosper for 150,000 years if we keep the same stability of climate as in the Holocene for the last 10,000 years. But this depends on choosing a voluntary simplicity, growing qualitatively, not quantitatively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So in 1900, as you can see, we were well within the limits of safety. Now, in 1950 came the great acceleration. Now hold your breath, not too long, to imagine what comes next. Now we have vastly overrun some of the planetary boundaries. Just to take biodiversity, at the current rate, by 2050, 30 percent of all species on Earth will have disappeared. Even if we keep their DNA in some fridge, that&#8217;s not going to be reversible. So here I am sitting in front of a 7,000-meter-high, 21,000-foot glacier in Bhutan. At the Third Pole, 2,000 glaciers are melting fast, faster than the Arctic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So what can we do in that situation? Well, however complex politically, economically, scientifically the question of the environment is, it simply boils down to a question of altruism versus selfishness. I&#8217;m a Marxist of the Groucho tendency. (Laughter) Groucho Marx said, &#8220;Why should I care about future generations? What have they ever done for me?&#8221; (Laughter) Unfortunately, I heard the billionaire Steve Forbes, on Fox News, saying exactly the same thing, but seriously. He was told about the rise of the ocean, and he said, &#8220;I find it absurd to change my behavior today for something that will happen in a hundred years.&#8221; So if you don&#8217;t care for future generations, just go for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So one of the main challenges of our times is to reconcile three time scales: the short term of the economy, the ups and downs of the stock market, the end-of-the-year accounts; the midterm of the quality of life &#8212; what is the quality every moment of our life, over 10 years and 20 years? &#8212; and the long term of the environment. When the environmentalists speak with economists, it&#8217;s like a schizophrenic dialogue, completely incoherent. They don&#8217;t speak the same language. Now, for the last 10 years, I went around the world meeting economists, scientists, neuroscientists, environmentalists, philosophers, thinkers in the Himalayas, all over the place. It seems to me, there&#8217;s only one concept that can reconcile those three time scales. It is simply having more consideration for others. If you have more consideration for others, you will have a caring economics, where finance is at the service of society and not society at the service of finances. You will not play at the casino with the resources that people have entrusted you with. If you have more consideration for others, you will make sure that you remedy inequality, that you bring some kind of well-being within society, in education, at the workplace. Otherwise, a nation that is the most powerful and the richest but everyone is miserable, what&#8217;s the point? And if you have more consideration for others, you are not going to ransack that planet that we have and at the current rate, we don&#8217;t have three planets to continue that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Discussion topics:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How to realize our human potential for goodness?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What are the individual, societal and environmental challenges to realizing our human potential for goodness?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Week 2\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3c4043; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; background-color: #f1f3f4;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Zoom Link:\u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000; cursor: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/miaminetwork.org\/zoom\">https:\/\/miaminetwork.org\/zoom<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(5:11 min or 7:43 min with Eel friend)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Does altruism exist?

And first of all, does it exist, true altruism, or are we so selfish? So some philosophers thought we were irredeemably selfish. But are we really all just like rascals? That&#8217;s good news, isn&#8217;t it? Many philosophers, like Hobbes, have said so. But not everyone looks like a rascal. Or is man a wolf for man? But this guy doesn&#8217;t seem too bad. He&#8217;s one of my friends in Tibet. He&#8217;s very kind. So now, we love cooperation. There&#8217;s no better joy than working together, is there? And then not only humans. Then, of course, there&#8217;s the struggle for life, the survival of the fittest, social Darwinism. But in evolution, cooperation &#8212; though competition exists, of course &#8212; cooperation has to be much more creative to go to increased levels of complexity. We are super-cooperators and we should even go further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So now, on top of that, the quality of human relationships. The <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/social\/the-path-to-happiness-lies-in-good-health-and-a-good-job-the-better-life-index-shows.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OECD<\/a> did a survey among 10 factors, including income, everything. The first one that people said, that&#8217;s the main thing for my happiness, is quality of social relationships. Not only in humans. And look at those great-grandmothers. So now, this idea that if we go deep within, we are irredeemably selfish, this is armchair science. There is not a single sociological study, psychological study, that&#8217;s ever shown that. Rather, the opposite. My friend, Daniel Batson, spent a whole life putting people in the lab in very complex situations. And of course we are sometimes selfish, and some people more than others. But he found that systematically, no matter what, there&#8217;s a significant number of people who do behave altruistically, no matter what. If you see someone deeply wounded, great suffering, you might just help out of empathic distress &#8212; you can&#8217;t stand it, so it&#8217;s better to help than to keep on looking at that person. So we tested all that, and in the end, he said, clearly people can be altruistic. So that&#8217;s good news. And even further, we should look at the banality of goodness. Now look at here. When we come out, we aren&#8217;t going to say, &#8220;That&#8217;s so nice. There was no fistfight while this mob was thinking about altruism.&#8221; No, that&#8217;s expected, isn&#8217;t it? If there was a fistfight, we would speak of that for months. So the banality of goodness is something that doesn&#8217;t attract your attention, but it exists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, look at this. So some psychologists said, when I tell them I run 140 humanitarian projects in the Himalayas that give me so much joy, they said, &#8220;Oh, I see, you work for the warm glow. That is not altruistic. You just feel good.&#8221; You think this guy, when he jumped in front of the train, he thought, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to feel so good when this is over?&#8221; (Laughter) But that&#8217;s not the end of it. They say, well, but when you interviewed him, he said, &#8220;I had no choice. I had to jump, of course.&#8221; He has no choice. Automatic behavior. It&#8217;s neither selfish nor altruistic. No choice? Well of course, this guy&#8217;s not going to think for half an hour, &#8220;Should I give my hand? Not give my hand?&#8221; He does it. There is a choice, but it&#8217;s obvious, it&#8217;s immediate. And then, also, there he had a choice. (Laughter)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are people who had choice, like Pastor Andr\u00e9 Trocm\u00e9 and his wife, and the whole village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in France. For the whole Second World War, they saved 3,500 Jews, gave them shelter, brought them to Switzerland, against all odds, at the risk of their lives and those of their family. So altruism does exist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So what is altruism? It is the wish: May others be happy and find the cause of happiness. Now, empathy is the affective resonance or cognitive resonance that tells you, this person is joyful, this person suffers. But empathy alone is not sufficient. If you keep on being confronted with suffering, you might have empathic distress, burnout, so you need the greater sphere of loving-kindness. With Tania Singer at the Max Planck Institute of Leipzig, we showed that the brain networks for empathy and loving-kindness are different. Now, that&#8217;s all well done, so we got that from evolution, from maternal care, parental love, but we need to extend that. It can be extended even to other species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eel friend optional (2:32)<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=npP8maVti7o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3DnpP8maVti7o&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1686099530397000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1K78mNnes5UjbqvfGsCoU3\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?<wbr \/>v=npP8maVti7o<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Discussion topics:<br \/><\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What kindness have we taken for granted?<br \/><\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>When have we noticed kindness?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Week 3\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3c4043; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; background-color: #f1f3f4;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Zoom Link:\u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000; cursor: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/miaminetwork.org\/zoom\">https:\/\/miaminetwork.org\/zoom<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(4:41 min)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Can we become more altruistic?

So is individual change possible? Two thousand years of contemplative study said yes, it is. Now, 15 years of collaboration with neuroscience and epigenetics said yes, our brains change when you train in altruism. So I spent 120 hours in an MRI machine. This is the first time I went after two and a half hours. And then the result has been published in many scientific papers. It shows without ambiguity that there is structural change and functional change in the brain when you train the altruistic love. Just to give you an idea: this is the meditator at rest on the left, meditator in compassion meditation, you see all the activity, and then the control group at rest, nothing happened, in meditation, nothing happened. They have not been trained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So do you need 50,000 hours of meditation? No, you don&#8217;t. Four weeks, 20 minutes a day, of caring, mindfulness meditation already brings a structural change in the brain compared to a control group. That&#8217;s only 20 minutes a day for four weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even with preschoolers &#8212; Richard Davidson did that in Madison. An eight-week program: gratitude, loving- kindness, cooperation, mindful breathing. You would say, &#8220;Oh, they&#8217;re just preschoolers.&#8221; Look after eight weeks, the pro-social behavior, that&#8217;s the blue line. And then comes the ultimate scientific test, the stickers test. Before, you determine for each child who is their best friend in the class, their least favorite child, an unknown child, and the sick child, and they have to give stickers away. So before the intervention, they give most of it to their best friend. Four, five years old, 20 minutes three times a week. After the intervention, no more discrimination: the same amount of stickers to their best friend and the least favorite child. That&#8217;s something we should do in all the schools in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Now where do we go from there?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(Applause)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When the Dalai Lama heard that, he told Richard Davidson, &#8220;You go to 10 schools, 100 schools, the U.N., the whole world.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So now where do we go from there? Individual change is possible. Now do we have to wait for an altruistic gene to be in the human race? That will take 50,000 years, too much for the environment. Fortunately, there is the evolution of culture. Cultures, as specialists have shown, change faster than genes. That&#8217;s the good news. Look, attitude towards war has dramatically changed over the years. So now individual change and cultural change mutually fashion each other, and yes, we can achieve a more altruistic society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So where do we go from there? Myself, I will go back to the East. Now we treat 100,000 patients a year in our projects. We have 25,000 kids in school, four percent overhead. Some people say, &#8220;Well, your stuff works in practice, but does it work in theory?&#8221; There&#8217;s always positive deviance. So I will also go back to my hermitage to find the inner resources to better serve others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But on the more global level, what can we do? We need three things. Enhancing cooperation: Cooperative learning in the school instead of competitive learning. Unconditional cooperation within corporations &#8212; there can be some competition between corporations, but not within. We need sustainable harmony. I love this term. Not sustainable growth anymore. Sustainable harmony means now we will reduce inequality. In the future, we do more with less, and we continue to grow qualitatively, not quantitatively. We need caring economics. The Homo economicus cannot deal with poverty in the midst of plenty, cannot deal with the problem of the common goods of the atmosphere, of the oceans. We need a caring economics. If you say economics should be compassionate, they say, &#8220;That&#8217;s not our job.&#8221; But if you say they don&#8217;t care, that looks bad. We need local commitment, global responsibility. We need to extend altruism to the other 1.6 million species. Sentient beings are co-citizens in this world. And we need to dare altruism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, long live the altruistic revolution.

This exclusion was implemented, on the one hand, through a definition and radical separation of a \u201cthey-group\u201d from the \u201cwe-group\u201d; on the other hand, through an objectification and degradation by which the members of the excluded group were refused their recognition as persons and even denied their humanness. These excluding, depersonalizing and dehumanizing ideologies and policies were also able to neutralize or suspend basic empathetic feelings in the perpetrators toward their fellow humans.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-852ec4c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"852ec4c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d6c156 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5d6c156\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-648ff56 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"648ff56\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6eeff48\" data-id=\"6eeff48\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6856f6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6856f6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 600;\">In a widely respected study entitled \u201cOrdinary men: reserve police battalion 101 and the final solution in Poland\u201d, Browning (2001) has analyzed a piece of history of the Nazi genocide, namely the mass execution of Polish Jews by the Hamburg police battalion 101. It consisted of reservists, many ordinary family men, no fanatic Nazis, who in 1942\/43 killed 38,000 Jews, men, women and children A peculiar feature was that at the beginning of the executions the policemen were explicitly given the choice whether to take part in the killings or not. Very few refrained and subsequently were not punished in any way.\u00a0 As Browning writes: The fundamental problem is to explain why ordinary men\u2014shaped by a culture that had its own peculiarities but was nonetheless within the mainstream of western Christian, and Enlightenment traditions\u2014 under specific circumstances willingly carried out the most extreme genocide in human history (Browning 2001, p.\u00a0222).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/38296434\/Empathy_Group_Identity_and_the_Mechanisms_of_Exclusion?auto=download\" target=\"_blank\"
