I had to watch this because of an online Marketing class, but I'm glad I did. It encompassed so many ideals from: Entrepreneurship, Management, Anthropology, and general Marketing classes. I think everyone who wants to be a manager, entrepreneur, etc. needs to watch this. So many leaders, CEO's, and basic level bosses have forgotten these basic pillars of proper guidance and relations to humanism.

This talk is thought provoking and inspiring and should be a good listen to everybody who continue to abide by the old way of thinking. Stop following like El-Shipple mentality. I'm not advocating disrespect to parents or authorities but always question why you do what you do to see if it makes common sense to you. It's about freedom and support for one another, especially freedom of thought. The tribe idea is a powerful model for change. Seth, thank you for setting the pace.

I am an indigenous tribal who just started entrepreneurship and this tribe idea makes so much sense. Seth Godwin ideas and philosophies have been a blessing in our business here in the remote corner of the world. The power of connection economic is a real testament.

Glad I started following Seth Godin. His books '@Purple Cow' & 'Tribes' taught me priceless lessons about marketing & leadership! His blogs, updates & videos are equally eyeopening! What an amazing time we are living in! Today, anyone from any part of the world, without lots of money or big influence, can start a movement from a simple idea! If you think you are too insignificant to start a movement or lead a tribe, you need to watch this video!

Kepler did in large part because he was convinced that there had to be a beautiful mathematical relationship there hidden and waiting for him. Part of his Christian vocation was to find it and promulgate it to the greater glory of God. Kepler's success leads to the surprising recognition that religious motivation can sometimes result in breakthrough discoveries thatchange the course of scientific history.

There can be a problem with tribes. When it comes to thought, tribes have a tendency to tout the line of thought without critical thinking. They want so much to be a part of a group that is changing the world... they don't care about how they got there or what they are saying is truthful or not.

Gallileo was never tortured and nor was he abused by Inquisition. He was given a number of concessions and in recognition of his age at the time of the trial. He was housed in a comfortable apartment in the Villa Medici, given servants to attend to him and had his meals prepared by a personal cook of the Florentine ambassador.

The example of Kepler shows that the Christian convictions of these towering figures of science were not incidental to their work. Rather, these convictions were the scientists' guiding inspiration. ''For a long time,'' Kepler wrote, ''I wanted to become a theologian. Now, however, behold how through my effort God is being celebrated through astronomy.''

@xtrashed 15 жыл бұрын

Kepler announced that his laws showed that God had used a far simpler and more elegant scheme than the one previously delineated in the Ptolemaic system of cycles and epicycles. In a prayer concluding 'The Harmony of a World,' Kepler implored God ''graciously to cause that these demonstrations may lead to thy glory and to the salvation of souls.''

Although it was not immediately accepted by the majority of scientists, the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus eventually gained universal support. Also note that Copernicus's work on the heliocentric theory would not have been completed had not Churchmen urged him on.

There was a book published where the Church censor wrote, ''We are honored to be living in a time when Gallileo is alive, because it will bring glory on us and our Church and our city.'' And he was right. And even crazier is that after the trial when Gallileo was sentenced to house arrest and the Cardinal Siena said, How about my house? I would love to have you! Because the other the rich people will come and hear you talk dinner table talk.

Galileo was highly honored most of his life, it was just this brief period in the 1630s when it all caved on in him. The trial of Gallileo is much more complex than the simplistic ''science versus the Church'' caricature. There are a lot of myths surrounding it.

@xtrashed 15 жыл бұрын

This may seem like an outdated view today, but it is not. Scientists commonly search for new patterns and order in nature, and they use what may appear to be perticuar criteria to determine if they are on the right path. The often ask whether a relationship is ''simple'' or whether it is ''beautiful.'' Patterns that are overly cumbersome or ''ugly'' are often rejected on those grounds alone.

@klotesignup 15 жыл бұрын

actually most scientists of that age were trying to get a step closer to God by understanding 'his work'. Isac Newton is another example apart from Gailileo. You also have to remember that they didn't have the 'complete' (I know it's not complete) scientific puzzle we have today, so some parts of that puzzle were still only defined as 'the work of God'. And they wanted to understand those parts.

Einstein confessed that ''in every true searcher of nature there is a kind of religious reverence.'' Biologist Joshua Lederberg recently told 'science' magazine, ''What is incontrovertible is that a religious impulse guides our motive in sustaining scientific inquiry.'' That impulse came originally from Christianity. -From 'What's so great about Christianity- by Dinesh D'Souza.

What he describes seems like an interest group, but a slightly more intense version of that. Using the word 'trube' seems much less 1st-world and more of a core-principles kind of deal which may tend to attract those in need of a deep sense of belonging.

Boyle, was a pious Anglican who declared scientists to be on a divinely appointed mission to serve as ''priests of a book of nature.'' Boyle's work includes both scientific studies and theological treatises. In his will he left money to fund a series of lectures combating atheism. Newton was virtually a Christian mystic who wrote long commentaries on biblical property from both the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation.

These theologians reasoned that surely God wold have used perfect circles to choreograph the planetary motions! Kepler, however, was certain, based on his deep Christian faith, that God had employed an even more beautiful pattern, and he labored hard to decipher it. When he discovered what it was - his three laws of planetary motion - he experienced something of a spiritual epiphany.

A critical component to the rise of Modern Science was the belief in the rationality of the universe. It was the Christian belief in an infinite, eternal and personal God who made this universe that which gave the fathers of modern science a basis of rationality of the universe.

So was Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian astronomer who first proposed the ''Big Bang'' theory for the origin of the universe. Mendel, whose discovery of the principles of heredity would provide vital support for the theory of evolution, spent his entire adult life as a monk in an Augustinian monastery. Where would modern science be without these men? Some were Protestant and some were Catholic, but all saw their scientific vocation in distinctively Christian terms.

A strong advocate of Copernicus's heliocentrism, Kepler held that the sun-centered cosmos was an image of the Holy Trinity, with God represented by the sun, Christ by the stars and planets, and the Holy Spirit by the motions of the heavenly bodies. When Kepler discovered that planets do not move in circular but rather in elliptical orbits, he was criticized by some theologians as rejecting the beauty of God's creative plan.

Kepler's laws posit uncanny relationships. For instance, Kepler's third law states that the square of the time of a planet's revolution is proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the sun. How could anyone have figured that out?

Morris Kline writes that ''the Renaissance scientist was a theologian with nature instead of God as his subject.'' This does not mean the Renaissance scientist was a secular path. On the contrary, he saw himself as a achieving God's purpose in a new and better way, by going beyond God's holy book and exploring His creation.

So clearly what happened to Gallileo is very complex, this was also going on in the middle 30 years war. You have to remember that Gallileo tria occured just as the Spanish were having their rear ends handed to themselves by Gustav Adolphos, did local politics have a big role in what happened to Gailleo!?

And the third thing, and the most subtle one, is that science, pure science, looking at the stars, trying to figure out what is on the the surface of Mars, is a worthwhile thing for grown-ups to do, to spend their life on, even though its not going to make you rich, its not going to give you a better sex life, its not going to do lots of other things that the culture tells you is important.

Why? Because even the most secular scientist presumes that nature embodies not only order but simplicity and beauty. This, I would argue, is the Christian residue of modern science. It is the little whisper, if we will hear it, that out science even today rests on religious foundations. Even secular scientists cannot get away from these Christian assumptions, and some of the most perceptive of them have recognized this.

Read about the rise of Modern science in the book 'What's so great about Christianity.' by Dinesh D'Souza. Copernicus, who was a canon in the cathedral of Krakow, celebrates astronomy as a ''science more divine than human'' and viewed his heliocentric theory as revealing God's grand scheme for the cosmos.
