Empathy is pretty important. He mentioned it at about the 20/min mark.
I remember as a child I was very empathetic, but I lost it along the way.
I know that I have driven past horrendous highway casualties, yet I have seen similar scenarios...on video...from all around the world, and everybody ran to help.
Why don't we run to help each other now, we Americans?
Too busy? Too important?
Or because it would cost us to help our fellow man/woman/child?
We're doing something wrong here.
The world will be better off when we start doing things right.
re: lack of empathy - part of it is the emotional numbing we have to adopt just to make it thru the day. We're bound and gagged (can't fight back, can't talk back) and thrown into a pit of rabid hyenas, jackals and wolverines (supervisors and managers) every day for 8 hours.
By the end of the day the only person i can empathize with is the guy who snaps and shoots up the place.

Because The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was filmed.
That and everyone has a cellphones now. (AAA is pretty cheap roadside assistance in America, at least. There are also callboxes all along our freeways.)
Stumble This
If not, a good watch.

Not much "new" information in this speech though. Most of those points have probably been demonstrated in several animal videos here on Videosift...
