Why is it that the most intelligent, technologically advanced era in human history is also capable of some of the worst cruelty we’ve ever seen? If we’re smarter than ever, why hasn’t that made us kinder?
This is video 4 in the Introduction to Martinus course — a series exploring the Danish thinker Martinus and the world picture he described. In this video, we look at why humanity seems to carry both an animal capacity for harm and a growing capacity for real empathy, at the same time, in the same people — and why that isn’t a contradiction. It’s a structural feature of exactly where we are on a much longer developmental arc.
If you have ever wondered how the same species — maybe even the same person — can be capable of both cruelty and real tenderness, this video is for you.
Part of the Introduction to Martinus course:
1. Who Was Martinus? The Man and the Vision
2. What Is a Living Being?
3. Reincarnation and Karma — The Journey
4. Why Does Humanity Still Act Like Animals Despite All Our Intelligence?
