I loved the ted talk about mass extinction the most, it really brought things into perspective for me. Life does itself in, and really painted a picture that morality is our biggest blessing and our biggest curse.
I didn't even notice that was Juan Enriquez, I got to see a lecture he did at popcast, he has inspired me to get into agronomy some how. By the way when I watched this, I thought of this. Homo Evolutis indeed.
