Summary of Tyson Yunkaporta's Sand Talk

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The echidnas are smart enough, and their prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain used for complex reasoning and decision making, is the biggest in relation to body size of any mammal. They have never used their intelligence to destroy anything yet, but they could if they get tired of the incompetence of domesticated humans. #2 The war between good and evil is actually an imposed simplicity over complexity.
The world is now mired in it. #3 I was born in Melbourne, but grew up in a dozen different remote or rural communities all over Queensland. I was not a happy camper as a child, but taking control of my life as a legal adult did not improve my disposition. I was not a real person, just a bundle of extreme reactions and rage. #4 I traveled to work with Indigenous groups and communities all over Australia.
I gained more knowledge, but it came at a price. I needed to work and study hard so I could support my children and extended family dependents, but I also needed to live and grow in my culture.
