(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.
Hey Nate. Time for a talk with Jason Hickel? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Hickel He's charismatic and cute! He even has dimples! ;) Just don't tell his wife I think he's cute!

Thanks so much! This is utterly fabulous, and so important.
