00:51The motto of the Olympic Games reminds us that man is a competitor.
01:00Born to surpass themselves and others.
01:07But in reality, he doesn't surpass many others.
01:12It's not just the cheetah that easily beats the greatest sprint champions.
01:17Even the warthog, the camel, and even a simple fly easily outshine it.
01:23What about high jump?
01:25The Puma breaks all records in the high jump.
01:28He jumps over 6 meters high, without a running start and without a pole.
01:33Lifting weights?
01:34The rhinoceros beetle can carry 850 times its own weight.
01:40That's equivalent to a person lifting 65 tons.
01:44Without training.
01:45Elephant seals are mammals like humans and can dive 10 times deeper than the greatest free diver champion.
01:53Up to over 2000 meters.
01:55And stay underwater for two hours without breathing.
02:01The situation is no better in combat sports.
02:04The most combative human would not stand a chance against a gorilla, a bear, or a kangaroo.
02:10Not to mention the numerous much smaller animals that can win the fight without even having to fight.
02:21Compared to other animals, humans do not have particularly good senses.
02:26He can't see far.
02:31Not at night.
02:36It does not perceive ultraviolet or infrared light.
02:42And it is insensitive to ultrasound.
02:48It detects neither electric fields nor the Earth's magnetic field.
02:58When comparing his physical abilities with those of other inhabitants of the Earth, there are not many categories in which man excels.
03:06can hope for a podium finish at the Olympic Games of Life.
03:11Compared to other species, human achievements seem terribly insignificant.
03:41We are less than a day care center.
03:43We are a completely laughable episode in the cosmos.
03:48And that seems at first glance to be a blatant contradiction to the doctrine that man is the crown of creation.
04:00If you look more closely at the part you can see, you'll see that there are no traces of anything whatsoever.
04:10intentional activity is present.
04:15There are questions that science cannot answer.
04:20Then we should look for the answers elsewhere in our faith.
04:42Thank you.
05:18Thank you.
05:44But an authentic cultural experience.
05:51As long as we live in this world, we are part of creation.
05:55And we need to be clear about one thing.
05:58Plants, animals, stones, birds, beetles, water – all of these can continue to exist without us.
06:05But we human beings need all of that.
06:09We need the plants, the animals, the water, the birds.
06:13We need everything else, but they don't need us.
06:16Therefore, we must learn to live with Mother Earth, instead of on her.
07:04Germany will never forgive the fact that the Treaty of Versailles was imposed upon it.
07:11Paris celebrates its victory, but the winds of another war are already blowing through Europe.
07:22The USA ultimately rejects the League of Nations.
07:30Woodrow Wilson died two years later.
07:33He never gave up faith in his project.
07:45The negotiators in Paris were convinced they would not repeat the mistakes and injustices of the Congress of Vienna.
07:54Likewise, future generations will consider themselves immune to the shortcomings of these negotiators.
08:01And yet they will be infected by the same evil.
08:07The perpetual inadequacy of human intelligence.

08:47And at the end of the program, we would like to quickly show you these pictures of a natural spectacle in Israel.
08:54This flight formation of thousands of starlings.
08:59Scientists call these impressively synchronized flight patterns murmurations.
09:03How the birds are able to orient themselves so precisely to each other remains unknown.
09:10In any case, a very special kind of star attitude.
09:14And that is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very

11:27In Japan, people are pleased that animals are superior to humans in some ways.
11:34This corresponds to the ancient nature religion of Shintoism.
11:38He sees man much more as part of nature, which is entirely imbued with spirit.
11:50Cognition is a broad term.
11:56In Japan we have a single word for it, Kokoro.
12:01Everyone knows the word Kokoro.
12:05Kokoro can mean anything: emotion, intellect, cognition, consciousness, compassion.
12:14Everything is Kokoro.
12:16You mustn't take the elements apart, but rather see them holistically.
12:21All elements must come together to form a picture.
12:32In contrast, in Western culture, humans have so far been considered unique.
12:36He alone possessed the ability to think, science claimed.
12:41But this certainty has been invalidated.
12:45Scientists have proven in experiments that many things that humans can do, animals can also do.
12:52The difference between animals and humans is smaller than previously thought.
12:58Our understanding of humanity changes dramatically as a result of these findings, as well as other findings.
13:06First of all, what many had already feared has proven true.
13:09We are not the crown of creation in any way.
13:12Even if we can say that we are the most intelligent.
13:16Whether we are the smartest is another question.
13:31I'll try to get a flight immediately.
13:34Okay. Okay.
13:37You only say that because we live in such a terrible time.
13:40Oh, she's not so terrible after all.
13:41No, no, not at all.
13:43The 20th century wasn't nearly as bloody as most people believe.
13:47The wars caused 100 million deaths; that is the official figure.
13:51In addition, there are the 10 million in the Russian gulags.
13:53We will never know what was in the Chinese camps.
13:56Let's say 20 million.
13:58That makes a total of 130 million dead, not such an impressive number.
14:01Considering that in the 16th century Spain and Portugal succeeded in
14:05Without gas, let alone bombs, it is impossible to exterminate 150 million Latin American Indians.
14:11That's hard work, sister.
14:13150 million people with an axe.
14:15Even though your church helped with the festivals, it's still a proud achievement.
14:20At least in North America, the Dutch, the English, the French, and later the Americans were inspired by it.
14:25And with the throats of another 50 million slit, that makes a total of 200 million dead.
14:30The greatest massacre in human history, right here on our doorstep, right here among us.
14:34Yes, but not the slightest trace of a Holocaust museum, no.
14:38The history of mankind, sister, is a history of horrors.
14:45…
15:11Yes, I think so.
15:19Was it a conscious decision, or did we temporarily lose our minds?
15:24How did progress become humanity's highest ideal?
15:28How could a lifestyle that threatens our future be considered desirable?
15:33Do we realize that we are not the center of the world, but merely part of a universal network?
15:39Why? Do we understand that Los Angeles' energy consumption influences the melting of the polar ice caps and deforestation in the Congo contributes to typhoons?
15:47can cause in Japan?
15:50We must overcome seemingly unsolvable problems and understand these challenges as something that could reshape our lives.

17:36What a masterpiece man is, how noble through reason, how unlimited in his abilities, in design, movement, how expressive
17:43and wondrous in his bearing, like an angel in thought, like a god, the ornament of the world, that
17:49Patterns of all living creatures.
17:51And yet, what is this quintessence of dust to me? I have no desire for man, nor for woman.
17:59What is man when time wins? His highest goods are only sleep and food; he is a beast, nothing more.
18:06Give everyone what they deserve, and no one will be safe from a beating.
18:08All the world's a stage and all men and women merely players; all insults, however gracious, come from the heart.
18:15Time is out of joint; dust is valued slightly gilded, far more than gold slightly dusted.
18:22What has the power to hurt me is not half as strong as my feeling of being able to be hurt.
18:27You shouldn't have grown old before you had become wise.
18:32Hope is often a hunting dog without a scent.
18:35More content, less art.
18:37Uh, sorry, I just felt like William again.
18:41The end of this month marks Shakespeare's 450th anniversary.
18:45Sorry.
18:47We'll be right back.
19:25We'll be right back.
19:46We'll be right back.
