The Fusion of Spirit and Science



Another Great mini-animation from Post Modern Times. This deals with the concept of Neo-tribalism.

Neo-tribalism is the ideology that people will only be happy when they satisfy their natural social needs by living in smaller communities that are not dynamically opposed to nature. This video goes someway to explaining the concepts of Dr Neil Goldsmith.

What I believe the director, Nikos Katsaounis, has done is, again like all Post Modern Times productions, stop the narrative from become boring or too overwhelming by allowing us visuals to help follow the theories. They keep it upbeat, fun and the style is current and modern. I especially love the depiction of growth pains, and when the little cave man urinates the words spirituality to depict the fact that spirituality is natural. It ultimately stops Dr Goldsmith dialogue from becoming boring and stuffy.

I enjoy the interplay between what is considered spiritual imagery and scientific imagery.
