Wild and Domesticated Religions: How the Machinery of Religion Evolved

March 16, 2010
Religions have probably changed more in the last two centuries than they changed in the last two millennia, and perhaps they will change more in the next twenty years than they have in the last two centuries. Dennett discusses religions as intricately designed cultural survivors. He examines how and why their parts work together as they do and explores how we can respond thoughtfully to the challenges they currently suggest.

Excellent talk, it's subjects are applicable in understanding elements of culture well beyond religion. :)

All right, I'm a bit of a one trick pony interest-wise at the mo, but I thought this was a good Systems view of some of these topics - presentations.dubberly.com/system_literacy.pdf

Very interesting. This coincides with some of my thoughts when I am opposing religion. There are serious worries. Although truth, and reason are very dear to me it is still a worry which essential human well being features is religion supporting that we would have to find other means to support if religion was not there. Such as insecurities, inferiority complexes, ie; fear of life, and death. D.D. is right we need to understand all we can about religion to see if it is a good idea to get rid of it if that is possible, or desirable. Then; if it was generally gone what kind of problems could that bring.

+banda5k1, Yes, my thought too: astonishingly few views, few likes, few comments ("thank God" for that one, I'd add! ;) ), while this is one of the most informative, educational talks of the subject! :-o
