David Suzuki - On Being Part of Nature

[@yvonnemurphy2172]

Thank you DAVID SUZUKI you are an amazingly wise human being!! 🙏

[@xikano8573]

We are definitely on a crash course straight into the brick wall. Thank you David for sharing your wisdom.

What a wise man, for a very long time I've held a similar view that the green movement are terrible communicators .... Communications are an under appreciated form of art. Also, asking what we agree on, is an amazing place to start.... Forming a sacred agreement on which humanity needs to thrive on this planet is again deep wisdom....

What's important to our 'leaders' is only power - not the biosphere.

Thank you 🙏

🟢I would like David Suzuki to tell us about the timeline of the important dates in the journey of the people of the First Nation of Canada, because at school the teacher does not tell us about that. It was a small, incomplete course in overflowing knowledge. 🟢J'aimerai que David Suzuki nous parle de la ligne du temps des dates importantes du cheminement des gens de la première nation du Canada, car à l'école l'enseignant ne nous pas parler de ca. C'était un petit cour en survole incomplet, en survole de connaissance.

What a treasure...

we need to educate the young to force and vote for the perople and changes the planet needs- the old are too ignorant and stuburn and will not change.

In say the Jurassic period and earlier the average CO2 level was an order of magnitude more in the atmosphere and the plants were huge,the animals were huge ,there was abundant water to support huge forests of magnificent trees and other plants. The largest flying animal ever was able to fly and make a living. The oil used today was once CO2 in the air for vast healthy habitats much healthier than today's. So the question is perhaps does the planet need more CO2 in the atmosphere so that bio and species diversity can thrive? If the answer is yes then a huge effort is needed to plant trees.Those trees will then regulate the water and air content cycles as they have forever, virtually. The trees have the ability to maximise those things which enhance life. Forests can be seen as engineering companies that create machines that sustain life and do not charge for their products.

It's interesting what folks like Suzuki, Pinkers, Noal Harari, Kurzweil etc are prophesizing as the incoming future. However they are all ignoring one vital aspect (as pointed by those experts who do not agree or see otherwise) - Is the biophysical limits imposed by nature. One planet finite possibilities.

[@Liliquan]

Since when has Suzuki ignored the biophysical limits of nature? He frequently talks about it. What a disingenuous liar you are.

Only Hunter-Gatherers are "part of nature", and we "moderns" are not. Thus, alienation from nature is a major component of my definition of "population density stress", along with crowding stress, the man-made stressors filling the modern urban/suburban "built" environments, our loss of all the emotional/security/spiritual advantages of clan living in the natural environment, and the loss of the spiritual/emotional/health benefits of living IN nature. Stress R Us

[@Liliquan]

You’re falling directly into the erroneous binary of man vs nature. That distinction is logically nonsensical. The logical relationship is subordinate not conjunctive. It’s a Part/Whole relationship where humans are a part of the whole of nature. Therefore, logically humans cannot ever be “apart” from nature. They are always “a part” of nature.

[@StressRUs]

@@Liliquan Thanks for clarifying the very point I was trying to make! However, in our massively overpopulated urban/suburban centers, we suffer from what I call "population density stress" causing "stress diseases" and one element in my definition of that syndrome is "alienation from Nature". Look deeper, find the truth, before you jump. Stress R us😁

Rachel Parent suffers more.

[@SpeedyCorky]

This guy talks a lot, and I totally agree with him BUT the man also has FIVE KIDS. kinda like preaching about how the air is so dirty, while driving a diesel 3500 series truck to take your dog to the park to go on a walk...

[@plaiche]

The knee jerk to take global scale problems driven by complex systems and disqualify ourselves or vocal, 'courageous hypocrites' is counterproductive not to mention intellectually stunted. We drive cars, we have kids, we eat from supermarkets etc. We still have work to do. Besides, industry, militaries etc (not this guy's reproductive choices 40 years ago) is grabbing the largest levers we can to drive changes at relevant scales.
