Dreamers that never had to deal with reality...

stop interrupting laura!!

There is prestine old growth forest on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in AZ. There are studies about the value of old growth to environmental stability, and carbon capture, etc. Parts, potentially large parts, of this forest have been under threat for want of uranium mining. Historically, unanium mining has already significantly harmed the people, land, and water of the Navajo Reservation. Then to suggest mining that close to the Colorado River, upriver from where Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico draw from the Colorado for agriculture and city needs. In the winter, something like 90% (99%?) of the leafy greens (salad mixes) in the US are grown in Yuma, AZ. This is why nuclear is just too worrisome a concept for myself. So much destruction. Once the plants are built and the need is established more and more mining will have to be opened up. I just can't trust it to not be devastatingly harmful to everything around.

Given that the reigning hands in the national legislature never do seem to deviate from corporate donor prerogatives lends little credibility to the idea of their independence from the same. It is true that certain legislators with large, established, independent followings in their own jurisdictions are the only ones capable of leading popular dissidence within the halls of power, but only a scarce few ever do.

One source of a counter-establishment from which to source appointees is academia/intelligentsia: people in favor of majoritarian interests such as Michael Lind.

12:04 "prison markets are highly interventionist"... what do y'all mean by interventionist?

It’s sad that we need this nuanced understanding but most don’t have the time or interest or maybe ability to learn it. Most seem happy to stay in their tribal bubble, continuing the divide that could destroy our society.

To meet the demands of all countries I don't think there's a practical alternative to nuclear energy.

Its like if Roz from Monsters, Inc. was spitting 🔥

what an interesting guy

Due to the audio and accent, I had a difficult time understanding the book recs. Anyone mind cluing me in?

This is great! A revolution in agriculture is needed to combat the climate crisis but this illustrates other ways that industrial farming and CAFOs are hazardous to our health and that of other beings

Great profile, very persuasive.

!! 350, 000 tonnes of high level nuclear waste worldwide without any proven way to store the waste safely for 250, 000 years. Nuclear is not clean, and will not be scalable. installed power from renewables is vastly greater than the capacity of nuclear. Nuclear power is irrelevant to achieiving zero carbon by 2050 and nuclear reactors take too long to build. The speakers in this video are naive and badly informed.

The real elite, whom you are forbidden to name else face life-destroying social sanction, are killing us as a matter of first principles and out of a homicidal and neurotic paranoia.

Prince Michael is one of the few wise, balanced, common-sense-driven voices in today’s Europe.

The why humans instead of robots rant was legendary!

Nuclear Weapons did cause the scale of war to limit itself. Nuclear power can turn the world around since it can be used to produce fertilzer for the African Sahel and Brazillian Amazon region while also providing electricity and maybe biodiesel fuel for farms. The problem is getting governments stable enough to feel safe building a nuclear plant. The molten salt technology might do something for that because if they use thorium it makes the wastye useless for bombs.

Just a pig meat facility, just a beef facility, etc. China has lots of "Crossing streams" situations. I like the concept of decentralization but when it comes to processing the various "Natural Inputs" I expect segmentation. Any kitchen worker understands "Cross Contamination" that should be avoided.

Destruction of knowledge- look at thorium nuclear power's fate. It was almost forgotten for near totally political wheeling and dealing.

America has cat like reflexes, if you surprise it you get a response out of all proportion to its usual mild mannered ego self involvement.

solar for household power, nuclear power for industrial. Wind for those places where sunshine doesn't work. A household can use the ev car battery for back up power. Personally I would prefer a plug in hybrid, with a woodstove for a bit of redundancy for back up power and heating. The Hybird can recharge itsellf if needed which powers the house.... Nuclear power can use the cooling water to boost a lot of industrial heat processes and one of those would be making a "green" diesel for heavy equipment while also generating power. Some nuclear power can also create medical isotopes, or provide material to fuel space craft. the material invested is fairly mundane and equivalent to the building of any hydroelectric dam. It is a smartphone for power generation even if it mainly makes electricity. Solar panels are literally microchips that use rare earths, there may not be enough material to support all the panels we will need much less the environmental costs of mining hundreds of tons to get a few pounds. If coal is bad, how much worse is the potential for that kind of mining for energy. Uranium is problematic for that, BUT thorium may not be, both can be used as nuclear power. Uranium goes into plutonium in any uranium reactor but a Thorium reactor can burn stuff we get mining rare earths (Gasoline is a waste fraction until ICE engines invented) making it cheaper than the uranium. Look up molten salt and LFTR and Thorium reactors.

nuclear weapons are dumb: very expensive and very inefficient, lots of energy on a small surface :( pursuing a nuclear program is the shortest way to bankruptcy

Wonderful!

Great founders lay the blueprints. The people build.

What do you say about Fukushima!?

Basically the nuclear threat is what influences people on the nuclear industry but no one ever mentions the lives nuclear weapons have saved over the last 70 years through its deterrence alone. Have we seen the end of world wars and major conflicts? Perhaps we should concentrate on what it is doing instead of on what it might do. On top of that there is the effect nuclear energy is already having on the environment and the planet. Considering we used horses for travel a little over a century ago can anyone doubt that nuclear waste will be made harmless and even better ways to use nuclear energy be developed?

Talking about dark matters, how about the kybalion?

Hi. Im not a physics expert nor an entreprenurial mind, but I cannot help but consider the ramifications of artificially warming Mars to better suit Earth life. Take a moment to think of the timescales in conjunction with what we have coined as the “goldilocks” zone; Earth sits quite perfectly in that zone. Mars may have once been geologically active within that zone allowing for Mars to be warm, but as a fundamental/serendipitous consequence of being less massive, and therefore unable to sustain the kind of geological processes that allowed for the many layers of geology/life support systems on Earth that we struggle to understand today that are currently at work and also still beyond our control besides reducing or eliminating our carbon outflux to our atmosphere; artificially warming Mars BEFORE she returns to the ‘Goldilocks’ zone with no plan or means to sustain/control it for the next 500million years only serves to show that humanity is an invasive and destructive force that the universe does not want to propogate. Mars may have once been warm and wet; in 500 million years when the Earth is scorched and dry, the life that slowly adapted and evolved to the degrading climate on Mars might be frozen/dormant and simply waiting for the environment to return to the conditions that created it. Enter humans: colonize Mars and artificially raise surface temps such that dormant Martian life can rise again. COOL!…right…😬 maybe not. When humanity decides to/can leave our solar system for grander frontiers in maybe a few hundred years, we have now given ancient Martian life a false chance at evolution. Humans leave Mars for a better world and Mars freezes again in several orders of magnitude faster than what they have already started evolving to forget. If Mars was ever once a cradle of life, settling and “terra”forming her would have the same consequence of human activity on “Gaia”. Species dieout, massive ecological destruction occuring eons before any natural processes that would allow for the laws of Darwin to prevail. If we decide to live on another planet, it must surely and be proven to be “dead”. Mars is one of several candidates that we think life could be there…so why disrupt that prospect by releasing hydro-flourocarbons to rapidly warm an atmosphere that is better served waiting flr the Sun to do so and allow for another billion or so years of evolution to naturally occur? PRIME DIRECTIVE at its finest.

Thank you.

Inspiring on a celestial level

Hegel DOESN'T really run with the "man of destiny" schtick. Hegel's concept of the "world-historical individual" is NOT an individualistic theory at all. The Hegelian "world-historical individual" is just an unconscious instrument of history, simply an embodied configuration of historical forces. In other words, Hegel was absolutely focussed on the surrounding context - his concept of the "world-historical individual" is still pretty deterministic, and mostly focussed on historical conditions. He sees individuals (even the most exceptional individuals) as being largely incidental to the historical unfolding of "Geist."

I had to listen several times to this part 36:58, because at first i just couldn't belief what he said haha. Anyways, great talk!

The New Elite (Billionaires) has forged an unholy alliance with the Bourgeois Bureaucracy (Middle Class) to a) by pass the old Land Owning Class (Aristocracy) and b) create and enlarge the Under Class (welfare dependents, addicts, criminals etc) to keep themselves in pretend jobs and in government funding etc, all to negate Working Class power 😳

Can’t say that I like what seemed to me to be an off-putting, almost dismissive-sounding “Yeah, right” responses early on from Wolf Tivy. Michael Shellenberger is always fun and great to watch, listen and read.

Patience my children! The reckoning is near. The new age is at the new dawn of this civilization. Watchers are in every system of government...waiting for genes to evolve.

Wolf-ram? Is this host that clueless? He obviously doesn't know anything about Wolfram.

This guys is a leftwing bonker. Which is why all the comments have been removed. He has a communist historiography. bAskic and and wrong.

Totally uninformative generalisations delivered at too fast a pace.

Nice

John gives good reason of the decline, or near annihilation of wisdom in the modern scene. In fact, the Western peoples have lost any recognition of 'beyond knowledge ', which is where wisdom stands. Wisdom is inevitably taught by those who have sought it out. Many of us realize that we have lost 'something ' vital in 40 -60 yrs time; yet each of us can stop wondering and search out wisdom, such as "Seek ye the LORD, while he may yet be found." 900 BC: Where there is no vision the people perish. -- Solomon's Proverbs.

Views too low

Well said, it's in the nature of this field to work outside segregated academic currents due to its highly interdisciplinary nature.

Israel & North Korea have nuclear weapons but don't have nuclear energy for civil purposes.

3:17 The Managerial Class has not broken the power of the Ownership Class. The ownership Class are the Investors who pay the managers. The investors are the Grand Old Trans-Atlantic families and they rule the world because they print money at will. The managerial class does not rule the world, the Grand Old Trans-Atlantic Families rule it and the managerial class merely works for the families for a salary.
