Thoughts on humanity

Just a quick post today. Check out this video, made by a student for a class project. People walking down the street are asked, “What does it mean to be human?” and these are their responses.

I found it interesting to note the common responses and the uncommon ones, as well as people’s reactions when it was clear they’d never thought of this question before. Happily, most seem pleased rather than upset at the prospect of thinking philosophically about life. It would be an awesome experiment to do this in several cities, around the country or the world, and see how people responded the same or differently.
