In nature, fish swim in turbulent flows, and they surf on these vortices. Now only if this fish were alive. But it's not. It's dead. How then is this fish swimming?

TEDx Talks· 2025-06-16 15:11
Core Argument - Morality is a compass for navigating life, balancing objective truths with adaptability [3][6] - Evil stems from a disconnect from empathy and understanding, thriving in isolation fueled by rigid belief systems [10][11] - Science and spirituality are complementary, with science explaining "how" and spirituality addressing "why" [14][15] - Reconciling individual truths with a collective moral code is essential to overcome chaos and evil [27] Science and Spirituality - Science and religion can work together, as exemplified by the Big Bang theory theorized by a Catholic priest [17][18] - The placebo effect demonstrates the mind-body connection, highlighting the role of belief in healing [21][22] - Belief, whether in religion, medicine, or oneself, can lead to real physiological benefits [25] Truth and Morality - Morality is a living dialogue, not static or absolute, connecting science's understanding with spirituality's search for meaning [29] - Determining right and wrong is multifactorial, influenced by environment, spirituality, and science [30] - The purpose of morality is to illuminate the journey and ensure collective progress despite differences [30]
