Awakening the better angels Part 1: Life as an entanglement of mutual obligation

About this presentation

1. Life as an entanglement of mutual obligation Human institutions (whether they’re formal organisations or just cultural expectations) entangle us in mutual obligations. We’re happy and prosperous when we we’re doing our bit for others and they’re doing theirs for us. When they don’t work so well, it’s usually because private interests have colonised our institutions to turn social expectations to their own advantage.
