Bestselling author, political adviser and social and ethical prophet Jeremy Rifkin investigates the evolution of empathy and the profound ways that it has shaped our development and our society. Rifkin asks a really interesting question: “How does consciousness change throughout history”? He argues that empathy is the invisible hand that keeps extending as technological progress is made and time and space boundaries dissolve: “We have the technology to think viscerally as a family”.
“Rethinking the human narrative,” isn’t that what sustainability is about? In that case, it’s time to turn up the empathy dial!
