A new look at “people power.”

In this wonderful TED talk, Bonnie Bassler (professor of Microbiology at Princeton) enthusiastically tells us that we are human beings, but 99 % bacteria! As she explains the awesome ways that bacteria communicate and work together toward a common goal, one cannot but help to extrapolate notions of how we have inherited the power of collective action from our biological makeup. Further, it overlaps with the wisdom tradition, upholding that we are not separate material objects, but fundamentally a part of all of life.

Please enjoy this very interesting talk.
