We had the pleasure of going to speak to Alan Macfarlane at Kings College Cambridge. We had a great conversation about English Individualism, Identity, and the East vs West divide. Alan then invited us to visit the historical Kings College campus and then treated us to lunch. We thank Alan for receiving us with such hospitality. We had a fantastic time and hope you all will enjoy part 2 of this conversation as much as we did!All the best!Inspire UsCheck out Prof Alan Macfarlane's YouTube Channel: @ayabaya Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:55 - Four Pillars of Identity00:03:41 - Cultural Identity Examples00:05:09 - Character and Identity Levels00:13:10 - For Us or Against Us Logic00:18:32 - Chinese Philosophy Explained00:20:00 - Nature and Spirituality00:21:40 - Chinese National Identity00:24:10 - Cultural Assimilation in China00:25:00 - Differences in Empires00:30:00 - Cultural Integration in Britain00:35:00 - East vs. West Perspectives00:36:40 - Experiences in China00:39:20 - Living in Nepal00:41:15 - Memorable Experiences in Nepal00:42:30 - Understanding Human Complexity00:43:40 - Closing Thoughts
