RSA Animate - Drive: the surprising truth about what motivates us - Daniel Pink

By
RSA Animate is a collection of 10 min cartoon-like animations on a whiteboard that partners with a synthesis of a conference given by renown academics in RSA Events . This series is put forward by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), who aim at a 21st century enlightenment .  I first saw some of the short-film series while being in Cuba.

It is based on the belief that  science  should be a slow, steady, methodical process, and that scientists should not be expected to provide "quick fixes" to society's problems. Slow science supports  curiosity -driven  scientific research  and opposes  performance targets . I'm personally interested in it if you remember Gabriel once we had a discussion on the waste of energy and resources to produce junk science and the fact that scientists are losing balance on looking into science.  Sometimes people do not know why they publish and for the sake of what?! it's become a tradition or kinda religion.  I'm most agreed with the directed scientific activities, slowly going ahead and touching the problem, whenever you can swallow the problem with...
