An interesting watch

Published by Guardian under Other thoughts

I try to talk to people about all the things that are going on beyond our cozy world view, and mostly I just get blinked at. “Oh Alex is off on one again”.

Without wading through some pretty heavy books on anthropology, or meeting people who have all the details (I certainly don’t), it’s hard to shake yourself free of our culture, even for a moment, and really look at the world.

This video isn’t heavy, but it might give you a little window into the larger world. Maybe after you’ve watched it you’ll understand why I’m so angry and so frustrated, so often. It’s 22 minutes long. Get yourself a cuppa and enjoy.
