Jonathan Haidt 2: Religion, evolution, and the ecstasy of self-transcendence (transcript)
Summary
We, humans, unleashed Earth-change creativity and generated vast wealth and comfort.
However, this is our lower level. It's because we pursue only our benefit but we are selfish.
The sacred level is that self-interest fades away and we become less self-interested. We don't pursue our self-interest and communal interest also though we feel noble and somehow uplifted.
What we should do is to climb this star to go the sacred level.
The speaker explains that we can climb it whether you are religious or not. we, humans, evolve. We can change politics to a sacred level from the current  tribal level.
It should be the ecstasy of self-transcendence.
