Reading Nicholas Humphrey: Bugs & Beasts Before the Law [Ep. 142, Macropiece Theater]

from Eurodollar University · host Jeff Snider

Medieval Europeans put animals on trial for various misdemeanors and felonies: murderous pigs sent to the gallows, sparrows prosecuted for chattering in church, a gang of thieving rats let off on a wholly technical acquittal. It was an act of rebellion against Chaos, an attempt to restrain the capricious Universe under human order. Is modern society more sophisticated? Or do we too attempt to assign order to Chaos when we mislabel it as "conspiracy" or "(in)competence"? A reading, by Emil Kalinowski.----------WHO----------Nicholas Humphrey a theoretical psychologist, based in Cambridge, who is known for his work on the evolution of human intelligence and consciousness.
