"If he dies, he dies, and that's pretty human." Next read: The Prepper (Morgan Talty)

In this episode we explore God's design for humanity. Understanding this will give us the foundation we need to answer questions like:Who are we?What is our purpose?What is the meaning of life?How do we relate to our creator?How do we relate to the creation around us?

Can we have a simple Humans 101 ? A few simple pictures we can all agree on  - one human - one planet - you know, stuff that really shouldn't be a  dispute at all. Fundamental truths everyone should know. The ones you don't really need to learn but instead  un-learn as you're indoctrinated into culture and society. Can we re-adjust the baseline to eliminate things like racism just as a start.We now have the capability to create global messaging. It can be pictures so you don't even need a language to understand it.I'm sure I'm way too utopian and optimistic about it...but someone has to be to know it's possible. Right?For your reference:The Clock Of The Long NowIn the words of Stewart Brand, a founding board member of the foundation, "Such a clock, if sufficiently impressive and well-engineered, would embody deep time for people. It should be charismatic to visit, interesting to think about, and famous enough to become iconic in the public discourse. Ideally, it would do for thinking about time what the photographs of Earth from space have done for thinking about the environment. Such icons reframe the way people think."  Order the book.

In March 2009, North Korean soldiers captured journalist Euna Lee and her colleague Laura Ling while they were shooting a documentary on the border with China. The courts sentenced them to 12 years of hard labor, but American diplomats eventually negotiated their release. In this surprising, deeply human talk, Lee shares her experience living as the enemy in a detention center for 140 days -- and the tiny gestures of humanity from her guards that sustained her.
