Another great video on this topic. It was posted on my Braver Angels facebook, so it fits with that too. Plus, he talks about changing how we define transcendence, taking away the belief parts of religion.

Skip to 28 minutes. There’s about 5 minutes, ending with some comments on evolution I think you’ll like, He says it’s not a quest for some final form, rather a continuing adaptation to fit the environment. We should make that connection sacred instead of some impossible utopia.
