Here's what I said about this conversation at Deep Transformation Network's forum.:

(quote):

I nominate this conversation as THE most important and valuable conversation published to the world this year of 2023, if not of the last decade altogether.

(1) William E. Rees: "The Fundamental Issue - Overshoot" | The Great Simplification #53 - YouTube

In this conversation an entire worldview is shattered. And it is the worldview by which the dominant culture is constructed from top to bottom.

For example, Rees concisely and brilliantly explains why cities can never, but never, be made "sustainable". Cities are, by nature, unsustainable! And that's a fact. And yet today most humans live in cities.

Not welcome news, but true.
