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 The acronym, which is apparently a little outdated, stands for the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.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.
