A mindful treasure list of conversations and talks about culture and science

This collection of talks and conversations on culture and science should provide insights that are otherwise lost in the vastness of the world wide web. There is no specific order, but lots of implicit references between.
This page is growing. There are a couple of more videos in the pipeline to be added soon.

Let me know what you think on twitter: mproveinsights or on LinkedIn.
