“The mystery of the stolen day” | Damián Mollá Herman | TEDxESIC University
Do you know that feeling you get when you go to a museum and see a painting you've never seen before, and your first reaction is: 'I don't like it'? Well, it's not that you don't like it — it's that you don't understand it. You don't know it, so you can't truly appreciate it. It's impossible.In the same way, you can't fully understand the world without knowing a bit of classical culture. The Greeks and Romans built their world around gods they believed in, and throughout human history, we've constantly referenced those gods. Without that context, a lot of what we see and experience today loses its deeper meaning. Comunicador y humorista español.
