Who we are…
Hi, My name is Andrew, I’m a creative, and I came up with the idea for the Human channel 10 years ago while noticing that it was our creativity, our interplay, and cohesion that to me, makes us human, and might have been why we survived. I couldn’t quite figure out which art form was my favorite (it might be music or video) and wether I should be making art, or promoting it, or teaching it, because I was really just interested in creativity’s potential to help us understand each other. I realized that for me, I would need to combine art with information, which has always grounded me, and was something people could focus on together when they couldn’t relate. Information is how we begin to relate, and creativity is how we grow understanding.
I decided to really work on The Human Channel after seeing the appeal of self-reliance and real world social experience in the age of ai. I had also recommitted to the idea that although politics sometimes divide us, all Humans deserve to participate together in defining ourselves, except people making the active decision to harm others even with every other option available. I believe that evolutionary theory is something all Humans are living, not just to study, and its relevance is something to be tested by philosophy and spiritual teachings, and we should weild evolutionary theory humbly, because it can never be complete.
To live and coexist together shows how we have always survived and thrived, by creating and building as a means for communicating and understanding each other. The Human Channel wants to share entertaining information on how to survive like all our ancestors, meet our needs to reproduce offspring who are also likely to reproduce, and celebrate that together, which to many is the meaning of existence, and if none of this is relevant to some, we can explore other meanings, because exploring possibilities and alternatives has been one of Humans’ strengths.
I’ve always been super creative, creating melodies and rhythms, dancing with people, making videos about people’s stories, and how we collaborate and communicate so easily. I have always been (too) emotional, sensitive, and fascinated by my empathy, the ability to feel what others feel, and how we Humans use empathy to create and collaborate. I am drawn to improvisation, creating on the spot, and with people we just met, if we want to. I want to know more about what is happening in my brain and body when I have negative emotions, or conflict. I have a vision for what videos would look like of people living and doing, as an example of modern learning, and creating together, which becomes more popular, as does reality style video.
I do need your help to fund many chapters, and installments of videos like the ones on this page, using professional experts, scientists, evolutionary biologists, professionals and regular people in all occupations and out in public who want to learn how evolution can improve what we do. Let’s continue being creative, cohesive and resilient. Let’s survive, thrive and evolve if necessary.
