    Sad there are no comments here – does it mean no-one has watched/listened to the video?
    If the latter is the case it worse than just sad.
    These highly intelligent and credible chaps examine and discuss incredibly important issues in today’s world and society.
    Developing more sustainable societal/political ideas is key to a better future.
    Assuming today’s paradigms are the best we can do is illogical and defeatist.
    Has human development plateaued out for good.

    1. Agreed Peter – I’ve been posting the best episodes from this series, which i think is very good. But I can see traffic that lots of people have watched this – maybe people interact more with articles?

        Editor, this video has 26k views on Youtube – so quite hopeful.
        They are such good speakers I find it easier to consume than a written article.
        I loved the Trump quote – ” If I believed in the climate crisis I’d have to become communist”

        Hi Mike, I’ve ditched the internet at home so no longer can watch videos, my only internet now is 10 hours a week for free at the local library.
        Where I do all the work I need to do, and now at home I have no distractions and a lot more creative time. I highly recommend it!

        Hence articles are more useful for me, although I’ve not felt inclined to comment of late anyway. The utter destruction of the biosphere caused by so-called progress is of much more concern. As humans are toxicating themselves to extinction, see

        any discussion of a post-capitalist world is a bit mute. There will be such a thing, in fact we are almost already in it, but whether humans will be a part of that post-capitalist world is rather problematic.
