An old explorer close to freezing in the Arctic re-lives the events that have brought him there. He recalls his student days at Trinity College in Dublin when he studied under the enigmatic Professor Orit, the professor who was driven to madness by his obsessive pursuit of the unified theory. Convinced that the answer somehow lay in the relationship between the numbers two, three and five, Professor Orit's obsession started the journey which has led his former student to the top of the world.

RSA Animate - The Empathic Civilisation http://mitchmckenna.com/post/8135/rsa-animate-the-empathic-civilisation

This video is part of a series produced by the RSA. The acronym, which is apparently a little outdated, stands for the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. A fascinating organization, the RSA has been around for 250 years and is dedicated to the ideal of societal enlightenment. To that end, they’ve been producing this animated video series which combines lectures by top thinkers with a clean and distinctive style of animation using whiteboards and markers. The video below examines the biological foundations for empathy and is based on a lecture by author Jeremy Rifkin.
