Great talk on spirituality - TED talks are fantastic. Many different views and angles on varieties of topics.
Expanded talk on evolution specifically natural grouping - competition within but more importantly across. This cooperation enables a species growth; reaping the benefits - construction and sadly the deconstruction. He explores phenomenon of self-sacrifice for the group - the act of soldiers in war. That the greater good for society outweighs self-preservation, there is something more, the notion that we are all connected anyway.
Duality: we have our ordinary everyday life vs the extraordinary higher experiences that give light to the spirit within - modern society is built to satisfy the ordinary self and the goal to to find the staircase in all the clutter.
