My Tribe in Central American rainforest constantly works with historians and scientist to try and trade ideas with the modern world.. to see how we might heal together, But we are constantly under attack and murdered, for our forest and our land, and our old culture. Let us continue to work towards a brighter future , for the modern world and the Indigenous ancient peoples of the world. -Tawira cabu wihna kiamka

Just finished taking his Classical Greek history course. He’s easily one of the best teachers I’ve had at Ohio State. Congrats on a great talk Dr. Anderson!

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Anderson as a professor several times in undergrad at Ohio State and watching this puts me right back in the classroom. This man has a brilliant mind and an intellect I respect so much. These kinds of thoughts and questions were normal in his classes and I love seeing it on a grander scale!

All you have to do is go live for a couple of years in a country where you don’t speak the language. And, as my favorite history prof used to remind us, “The past is another country.” We are each a product of this moment, this place, this culture.

TedTalks during quarantines hit different

A very profound speech. In conclusion, none of our so called real worlds is the real world. The real world is ever changing depending on our psychology and understanding of the world.

Thank you, Dr Anderson, for this. I think you understand how those of us who grew up in non-western, "pre-modern" societies feel in the face of the arrogance of western ontology.

A change in the way of our thinking starts with people like him. It’ll take many more people like him and time for us to shift.

This has got to be the most underrated ted talk ever. Unbelievably good

This speaker is a GENIUS in his field! The way he delivered every word was in itself like an ocean flowing with wisdom and deep-rooted societal history. All in all, it was an amazing talk! For sure, I did came to know that everything holds in the eyes of the beholder - what I see might be different from what you see. A holographic world in a cupid bowl.
