Mark Hamilton gives a short monologue framing the nature of "society" (using an analogy to the mystery of gravity) and then reads promotional text introducing MySociety US (www.mysociety.us). The clip transitions from philosophical framing to a brief pitch: MySociety US is presented as an inclusive, growing community with local chapters, online clubhouses (including art clubhouses), and opportunities to meet lifelong friends.
Chapters
What I'm trying to do here today with you is talk directly to you. In a sense.
I want you to really understand.
What it is that society is all about. What it really, really is. In any science, in philosophy, pretty much any study.
People can express what something is. But to really know and understand what it really is, let's go into the science arena and take the concept.
Of gravity for example. And people think they know what gravity is, but really gravity is a big mystery. To really understand what gravity really is. And I use that as an analogy to the society I want you now today to begin to really, really understand and know what it is the society is really all about. So let's move on. I'm going to read to you.
It's a little, just a little piece I'm going to work with. It's not in practice yet, but it's going to help you to begin to understand really what we're doing.
