James Burke : The Day The Universe Changed: "Worlds Without End"

This series aired in 1985, 20 years before blogs, before Facebook existed, before crowd sourcing, before flash crowds, before social networking...

This video contains the last 6 minutes of the last episode of the series.

Remarkable, and inspiring.



The whole series is worth watching, particularly the complete episode, "worlds Without End"

it's the essence of "me" morality, the will to power, mephistopheles, the devil, which is good only in moderation, I think. it's the same morality that's taken down the republican party.

And here we are, at that crossroads, face with the choice of freedom and community or tyranny and hierarchy.
