Chris Wallker

In this talk, Chris emphasizes the importance of nature in our lives, distinguishing between the scientific study of biophilia and the practical benefits of connecting with nature. He contrasts the diminishing sensory connection to nature due to advancing technology with the profound 'farm wisdom' that comes from direct interaction with the natural world. Chris argues that while academic wisdom is crucial for professional success, it must be balanced with self-knowledge and nature's wisdom to avoid emotional fragility and societal disconnection. He concludes by encouraging listeners to integrate both forms of wisdom into their daily lives for holistic well-being.
