Playing for Team Human today is Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct . Lent's expansive research looks at the variety of ways cultures throughout history have patterned meaning into the cosmos. In excavating these patterns, Lent shares how humans might retrieve those metaphors that amplify altruism and shared intentionality. Together, Rushkoff and Lent explore the question of what makes humans unique and how we might leverage our patterning instinct to foster a future characterized by deeper connection rather than alienation.  Douglas begins today's show with a monologue on cultural immunity. He questions the impulse to solve the problems of democracy by simply building better tech. How might we build resilience in people rather than just in our gadgets and algorithms? This show features intro and outro music thanks to Fugazi and Dischord Records . Mid-way you heard our friend R.U.

It’s with genuine excitement that we announce the return of our flagship general-interest interview series, Wide Angle. Over their first three years, host Peter Bermudes and his co-producer Lee Urton have created a vibrant platform for the deep exploration of dozens of vexing, complicated issues, and their quest continues. It seems fitting that the debut episode of the new season focuses on one of the oldest paradigms of human behavior. Evolutionary theory itself tends to amplify humans’ competitive tendencies over our cooperative behaviors. But what if that idea…is just plain wrong? How different might our lives be if we led with our collaborative, community-building skills rather than conceiving of our basic nature as greedy and selfish? Peter and his guest, British author Jeremy Lent, explore humanity’s path from its hunter-gatherer origins to our current challenge with climate change. It is, as always, TV that challenges and informs, and it airs on the Public channel several times per week. This video was created in coordination with Arlington Community Media, Inc. in Arlington, MA. ACMi is dedicated to providing an electronic forum for the free exchange of information and ideas which reflect the talents, skills, interests, concerns, and diversity of the Arlington, Massachusetts community.
