46:28 great question re political flag use. I was thinking about it before Elizabeth even asked as the commandeering of overt national symbolism has certainly ramped up of late. As Michael Billig suggests, this is a fine line we now tread of war potentiality. Yes there are positives to nationalism, but its openness to power wielded untruths is a major concern.

Michael billig is my grandpa! He is the best grandpa ever!!!!

Not a word about National-anarchism itself. Why was that? The majority of present day anarchists, are either middle class posers, bewildered marxists (lefties), petty thieves or sociopaths.

Still waiting to find an assessment of how Marxism throughout the world mocked and despised the environmentalist movement intil the 1990s. The priority for Marxists was then more industrialisation, more development with nuclear energy and fossil fuels. Interestingly, it was after the collapse of the USSR in 1989 that Marxists, socialists, communists embraced environmentalism and ecological activism and suddenly became anti industry, anti nuclear and anti fossil fuels. In a few brief years, they pulled a 180 and the priority was to "save the planet" - not to liberate the working class. And so, needless to say, the culprits guilty of "destroying the Earth", for industrialisation, for nuclear energy and fossil fuel use were capitalism and nationalism...The eternal baddies. Not Marxism, of course... 🤷‍♂️

In the thousand-year timeframe, (1) the permafrost lands of the north will thaw, and we will build enormous hydrological systems to drain them. (2) New ports will be built to match the rising seas to service the new farmland. The population of the Earth will be completely redistributed. But can we survive until then?

In the decades timeframe (1) the rising cost of diesel will drive the huge combine harvesters from our fields, solar powered ones must be smaller, so an enormous number of farm workers will be need, (2) rising seas will force millions of people to move away from the seacoasts. Will the hinter land be repopulated?

So cool to see thomas here!

thanks for sharing this!!! ;)))

No mention of freedom here.

Needing truthfulness to underpin democracy is a sobering statement at the end of the interview. It is sadly lacking in current politics.
