TEDx in Munich was fun. I didn’t come away with any answers, but I did certainly come across some good questions. One question, courtesy of Dr X (I’ve forgotten his name!) was why we spend so much time building machines to assist with our thinking when it’s clearly our feelings that need attention. Put a slightly different way, why is the idea of a ‘world brain’ so attractive versus a ‘world heart’? This linked into a discussion about how values might change in the future and whether shifts might include more of a focus on things relating to the human heart (in turn linked into the idea of emotional currency, social value and social capital and so on).
