Empathetic Civilization
The RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of the Arts) produces some great illustrations/cartoons to accompany notable talks given by notable people. It's a fascinating way to keep the listener engaged. This one resonated with me probably because it was the first one that I viewed. Their site- and YouTube- has others on a variety of subjects. The editing, "camera" work, and drawings are are very entertaining and effective in my opinion. The subject of this particular piece is a great introduction to our ability to empathize with fellow human beings, and the speech itself is quite enlightening. Enjoy, fellow travelers.

Well I'm hooked. I really, really like this presentation vehicle. This may prove a time consuming site ineed. I think Ray Bradbury's "Illustrated Man" is alive and well here.
