The wombat speaks, and he’s smarter than you

Wombat

The wombat speaks, and he’s smarter than you, so listen up! In less than a minute, this rapid-fire animation tells you everything you need to know about how to get along on earth for the next million years.

Or so says Jason Ables, the creator of a website called bumpercars.com.
He’s a San Francisco Bay Area based freelance web designer and Flash animator, and he’s the creator of this meme.

What’s a meme? According to Wikipedia, it’s …

… a unit of cultural information that propagates from one mind to another as a theoretical unit of cultural evolution and diffusion, analogous to the way a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and evolution.

This meme is from an interesting website called Global Mind Shift. Thanks to Calestous Juma for passing it along.

    Wow! He’s really cool and oh so smart. It is JUST one world - I still don’t understand how people don’t make that coneection. Maybe they live too sheltered a lifestyle. Maybe they are simply not thinking.

    Maybe they just haven’t seen the wombat yet!

    He’s right, why can’t we all just get along. I think some certain people in Afghanistan and Iraq need to see this video.
