1:46 - Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of the Overman (Superman, or Ubermensch) as presented in the prologue of Thus Spake Zarathustra: “I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN. Man is something that is to be surpassed. What have ye done to surpass man? All beings hitherto have created something beyond themselves: and ye want to be the ebb of that great tide, and would rather go back to the beast than surpass man? What is the ape to man? A laughing-stock, a thing of shame. And just the same shall man be to the Superman: a laughing-stock, a thing of shame.”2:40 - Jean Baudrillard , Hyperreality, and Simulacra and Simulation4:56 - “Of 2 Minds: How Fast and Slow Thinking Shape Perception and Choice” from Scientific America, excerpted from Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (book overview from Wikipedia)
