In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss various cultural and social artifacts that may be strong evidence for the idea human beings are “special” and not just another animal species. We discuss how technology enhances our capabilities, pushes the boundaries of what is possible, and how this is perhaps defining. Finally, we look at collective human intelligence, creativity, and imagination.
