Jared Diamond gave a talk about his autobiographical book about his study in Papua, New Guinea. He started out wanting to understand the fascinating world, but the work soon morphed into studies of small, traditional communities. He draws lessons from New Guinean rules to live by, and compares modern and traditional societies. (Click the images for a larger view)

  • Jared Diamond, Tuesday 1st Oct. 13 RI (Royal Institute)
  • An autobiographical book about his study in Papua New Guinea…then morphed into studies of small communities (traditional).
  • Motivation: just understanding the fascinating world.
  • He doesn’t have a computer or an iPhone or an actual phone.
  • New Guinean rules to live by: Don’t sleep under dead trees.
  • We need to kick ourselves into new sustainable habits.
  • We have different languages.
  • We have different attitudes to dangers.
  • Children are given much more freedom.
  • In nomadic societies with fluctuating food they sometimes desert, starve, or even kill the elderly.
  • In societies where people stay in the same place, they are surrounded by childhood friends.
  • Traditional societies have very little death associated with non-communicable diseases.
  • Disputes are often about emotional closure rather than right or wrong.
  • The lack of face to face communication and being able to read visual cues is a problem.
  • We are using one language per week.
  • Modern societies are all very similar. Traditional societies are much more varied.
  • New book: Nations in crisis (and individuals in crisis)[/greybox]

[greybox]Jared Diamond는 파푸아 뉴기니에서 그의 연구에 관한 그의 자서전적 저서에 관하여 강연하였습니다. 저자는 대단히 흥미로운 세계를 이해하고 싶다는 말로 시작하였으나, 글은 곧 작은 전통사회 연구로 이어졌습니다. 저자는 파푸아 뉴기니의 삶의 규칙으로부터 교훈을 끌어내며 현대사회와 전통사회를 비교합니다.[/greybox]Sketchnote
