Days of Revolt: Coping with Reality

[@deborahstark3490]

I've been hoping for a long time to see a dialog between Tim and Chris, both of whose work I greatly admire and follow closely. This interview is one of the best I've ever seen on ANY topic.

[@rickbishop5987]

Thank you! I love Mr. Hedges work and his books.

[@robertpreece5837]

Thanks a lot Mr Hedges. Finally someone talks about what is really going on and how it feels. I mean thank you, i needed to hear this. Just the facts mame. More important then effectiveness. Love you!

[@Jamesrjs]

I hadn't realized the depth of Tim DE Christopher's thinking. Would like to hear a more extended conversation between him and Chris Hedges. Better yet, a several-day, several hours per day discussion among Hedges, De Christopher and Derrick Jensen Talk about 'radical' (root) issues--They (and we--all us of) are dealing with, as Hedges has so eloquently pointed out, the most fundamental questions of humanity. And these questions are of paramount importance, especially now, more so than at any other time in human history. How do we persist in the face of (most probably) no hope? What is the generative force of that spirituality which nurtures and motivates this? There will be differences among individuals, of course. But something fundamental--something elemental--in . . . in what? Our shared humanity? Our shared but individually inflected notions and experiences of the divine, the spiritual transcendent (whatever that might be)? I don't know. Everyone must arrive at this in his or her personal way, with guidance from others or without.Personally, Hedges' approach resonates most with me: the belief that, despite outcomes or anything else, the act of resistance--of affirming life in the face of death--affirms our humanity and makes us such that we have truly lived. And that that in itself has meaning--immutable meaning--regardless of what happens next.

Johnny-come-lately to this profound interview. Perhaps the best interview of the series! Thanks to both Chris & Tim!!

[@meeluumeeloo4318]

Great show! I really needed to hear that.

[@modolief]

Thank you all. Amazing quality and heart.

[@rapauli]

The is a particularly good discussion. Worth hearing . Honest and deep. Two guys from the Harvard Divinity School - still this entire discussion is prologue. More please.

[@itzenormous]

I never miss one of these episodes ... I totally admire Chris, and I love seeing images from my home town of Baltimore - a place ravaged by Neo-Liberalism.

[@beautifulnature1814]

people should realize that we are nature. There is no separation. We are one. That is why it is best to have compassion for all life and help all the best we can in our capability as long as we all live. That is our spiritual journey is it not? To love and to know that living a life is special and worthwhile and that means to care. Love nature, we eat of her ground everyday. Thanks for this video, it is the best I have seen!

[@pjamesbda]

Pretty solemn. In the 60s we read Carlos Castaneda, who pointed out we are perceivers, and assembled our descriptions of the world at a point in our luminous egg. This turns out to be a kind of "description" itself, in that the egg is a word used to describe the place our perception resides. The assemblage point can be shifted. If we are to preserve our physical environment, a shift in perception is crucial...and is over due.

Great discussion!

[@chriscorona1317]

Heavy stuff. Needed to be said. Going to need some time to process it. :/

[@artm8dk]

Thoughtful video , thanks.

[@davidcardill4607]

The Canary is not in a coal mine, the Canary is on the surface, and, the Canary has fallen. Anyway, I wrote that in 2008. It's over.

[@LightiningHobo]

That wall around Bagladesh is nefarious. Disgusting. I didn't know anything about its circumstances, thanks.

[@MegaMementoMori]

+LightiningHobo It is nefarious until you are that Indian family living 10 km from Bangladesh borders ;) If CC is real, the "we have to save everyone" scenario will just become implausible.

[@superbrian7997]

I know right. LightiningHobo I didn't like the look of that wall around Bangladesh either. And was about ready to say condemning things about India with great fervor. Until remembered that India already has a population of over 1 Billion. So expecting them to welcome over 100 million environmental refugees with open arms into their country is more unexceptable and outrageous than what their doing to defend their country and way of life.

[@waltertheartist2746]

Futurism for the realists.

[@superbrian7997]

Shit this is a really sobering interview. The way they are talking has me half expecting one of them to raise the question and ask, "Have we become Krypton? Because I could totally see Kryptonian intellectuals speaking as they are about the end of life on Krypton if you know, Jor-El hadn't been censured by the Kryptonian High Council. And been allowed to tell his countrymen that the end was high.

[@TranscendianIntendor]

Engineers have not been given their place & the respect they deserve since they do bring a realistic attitude to the work. Regardless of the range of personalities and politics the Flint incident is about Civil Engineering failures. I have been saying that Engineers need to speak before being spoken to.

[@pjamesbda]

+Transcendian - Yet like Architecture, our practices are refereed to as disciplines precisely because it is the specialization of mechanical prowess required to remedy a specific set of threats or a challenge. Ours isn't the task to set out the directives. Because this isn't how this system of specialization dictates we should behave. That is why we wait in the wings. Uh, me thinks that is indeed a flaw, I agree.

[@TranscendianIntendor]

Henry Petroski put Financial Engineers in the discipline. So there it is. Systems Engineering is making government systems that work. Even see that the hydraulic engineer Henry Roberts wrote Roberts Rules of Order. So see there, plenty of reasons to see the discipline of engineering as better get off their asses and or support me so I can give them money in a proper pursuit.

[@pjamesbda]

Transcendian - Have you read or followed any of the Engineering groups regarding 9-11? Interesting they came out, and spoke truth to power, wouldn't you agree?

[@TranscendianIntendor]

Kicked off CR4.

[@pjamesbda]

Transcendian - Good answer. It is a perverted consensus being upheld as the truth...but part of that consensus is, it's full of empty holes for a good reason. (does that make sense?) My brain endured a close shave on Sept. 10, 2001 and the next day I couldn't stop the bleeding. I still haven't. So rather than regurgitate a load of what if's, suffice it to say it's had that kind of affect on a lot of people.

I must have the currency of fame and so then New Movie, Movie Quest, or the Movie Playlist Suggested Viewing for Mac DeMarco are my low budget movies.

[@vladimirputin8580]

I just don't buy it, before you say "well your not a scientist" . I have a Masters in the applied Science of Mathematics. I have examined the "theory's", also called climate change models and they are exaggerated . I do agree fresh water resources are mismanaged and must be addressed on a global scale. I also lived in Arizona, I had a and home in Tucson and a small ranch in Arivaca , fifteen miles from the border. Desert ecology has been evolving for eons and cannot be projected in 20 year models. The entire Southwest had far less ground water before man diverted the Colorado river.Lake Mead is a man made lake without an underground aqua fur, it is naturally seeping into subterranean voids in the earth. To equate border militia's and ranchers arming to protect against Hispanic border crossers is a direst result of global warming is ridiculous. In the 18 years I have owned my little ranch on the border, thousands of people have crossed and drank from the open well pool I made for my beehives. It was the criminal drug trafficker's who stole two of my vehicles, damaged my well , robbed my wife and endangered my children. If this gentleman knowingly defrauded people by making false bids for mineral rights , I have no sympathy for his incarceration. What a waste of the precious time we have in life.

[@Johnnyredtail]

Tomorrow Land is a recent movie release that glorifies this very willful ignorance of the inconvenient truths.
