Where does the fear of the other come from? Why are we so scared of people who are different? Our society is very heterogeneous and it is impossible to ignore or cancel the differences. So, are we destined to live forever with the mistrust and fear? Luigi Zoja traces back human history and explains how our fears transform into paranoia. Fortunately, the most powerful antidote against the "collective psychic infections" of paranoia is intrinsic in our nature: being surrounded by other human beings.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. §
