Major new metal discoveries are
becoming increasingly rare
40% of the worlds agricultural land
is seriously degraded,
and ever more volatile yields
continue to be unevenly distributed
It may be that the looming environmental threat
is not global warming,
but the exhaustion of the worlds resources.
We are going to have struggles for
finding land sufficient to grow
the agricultural products
for what the UN says
is going to be a 9 billion earth population.
non renewable fossil fuels as they run out
I think shell posit's about 2075 they'll be gone,
and we're going to struggle over things like water
that are necessary to
our life and to our economy
a blueprint affair with world leaders
working to share and share alike
or it could be a real mess,
and shell incidentally bets on the mess
Just like the babyboomers failure
to look to the next generation,
our outdated competitive mentallity
for a world of depleted resources
could have devastating consequences.
one up'nship competition
and comparison where as
made over millenia
has been largely based on cooperation.
In any species, almost any animal,
there is always the potential for huge conflict,
because within any species
all members of that species have
the same needs
so they might fight eachother for
food and shelter
and nestsites and territory and
sexual partners
and all that kind of things.
But human beings have always had
the other possibility
We have the possibility to be the
best source of support
and love and assistance and cooperation.
Much more so than any other animal
And so other people can be the best or the worst
You can be my worst rival or my best
source of support
In a progressive society
to meet our economic social and cultural needs
we must move from globalisation to localisation
The benefit's of a communal sense of fellowship,
responsibility and purpose in a life driven
by production,
not consumption would lead to
happiness and satisfaction.
Indeed we must ask;
Have our modern consumerism lifestyle
made us happy?
I think if one have been living in the 19'th century
and somebody told you that a 100 yers later
people we're going to be living in this
extraordinary wealth and comfort
with central heating,
being able to throw away such a
high proportion of our food as we do,
we'd imagine that we'd be living in
a state of extraordinary social harmony
and everything would be rosy.
the contrast between if you like
the material success of our societies
and the social failure.
The growth economy demands that
we make consumtion the way of life
He who dies with the most toys became
the ambition,
and retail replaced spiritual satisfaction
Unsurprisingly sales of antidepressants
skyrocketed.
The fact is that the world economy
over the last few years,
a good share of my life time has been
built either on
the military or on producing items
that most people don't need,
and really dont even want.
Consumerism is driven by a extraordinally
social nature
that we want to have the stuff
so that we look good in other peoples eyes.
It's because I experience myself
the feelings of shame and embarrasment
or pride and maybe feeling envied all
those things.
The goods is just a way of mediating
the relationship
between yourself and others in this
extraordinarily alienated hierarchy
What has really suffered is human relationships,
family life, the things that really matter to us,
and in the end
it's very clear that passing a level
you only get marginal gains from wealth
What really makes us happy is other people,
it's our relationship with other people that
has really been damaged by the last 30 years
We trust them less,
we have less interraction with them,
we bond less than ever before,
we marry less and marriage is under
more threat than ever before
and all the associations that represents
sort of permanent unconditioned human affection
And that's the real legacy of the last 30 years
in some sense we've got to
recover and rehumanise our lives
otherwise not only will we be nasty,
brutish and shout at, but we'll be lonely
The west is coming to the realisation
that it's human project is failing
the west was so convinced that
if you push people to achieve as individuals
the accumulated achievement over individuals
would make for a successfull society
And what the west is now begginning to realise
is that the individual achievement
without incorporating the voulnerable community
is a myth.
The idea was, make your own life,
be individually aspiring,
and then you'll be individually achieving,
and then you'll be individually prosperous,
and then you'll be individually happy.
You end up doing that in a glass jar
and the glass jar has a limited height
and it is incapsulating
and in the end you die of lack of oxygen
Human beings are alive because
they seek attachment
and because they are propelled by affection
so the isolated achieving individual in
the end implodes.
In order to find a purpose in life
it has to be outside yourself
It matters not how you're constructed
outside yourself
as long as it is a positive value
added to the society pursuit
But it has to be outside, it can't be yourself,
if you're pursuing yourself
you're pursuing the abyss as Nietzsche said
You're going to wind up in the abyss.
One of the most powerful and cultural
frameworks
that shapes the way we think today is the
hollywood film construction
and it follows a particular called compassion
in that there's a beginning,
there's a middle and there's an end
There is drama, tension, there's resolution,
there's usually a goodie and a baddie
and it's usually a story told for the
median of human beings
This Hollywoodisation of the way
that people communicate
and about the way they tell stories
about themselves
has very much impacted how we look at
the financial crisis
in there to people look at the beginning
and the middle and the end,
they look at the drama around the
Lehman Brothers
and they want to see a resolution
and they want it that easy
they want sacrificial victims as well
so they focus on a few individuals
The idea that somehow it
wasn't just one or two individuals
who we're the root of the problem,
it was a systemic problem
who participated
was in some way guilty
either of outright negligence or
simply failing to ask the right questions
why money was so cheap for so many years
The idea that it was a systemic flaw
is something wich is very hard
for people to grasp
