Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme – but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
Through a series of experiments that measure the electrical activity in plants, scientists have discovered that plants are indeed connected to the events surrounding them and are capable of exhibiting emotional reactions to events and people. This will change the way you look at the natural world around you.
Is evolution really as complicated as we make it out to be? This video suggests that despite our differences – perhaps we are much more united across this planet than we choose to acknowledge.
