Tackling our existential crisis by rethinking economics | Kees Klomp | TEDxUtrecht

[@excaliburtheholysword1771]

"We don't own Nature, we are Nature.." We have forgotten how to live on Earth. Mother Nature has a way of reminding us who is in charge. . .

Thank you🌏

[@hljdeephybridvlog7897]

Wow so amazing to survive the economic crisis of life

[@mariamediatrix6415]

economy should be seen as a way people strive to life, not the purpose itself. after all, it is just a tool.

[@mariamediatrix6415]

“look after the ecosystem” in business. it is revolutionary. cheers to mr. klomp for mentioning this.

Making money is an action.keeping money is a behavior,but “Growing money is knowledge” I figured this out a week ago.😇

How! I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it, please can you list the platform?

[@haileyciantar4126]

This is such an interesting TED Talk!

[@stuffandbits6505]

I posited growth economy is inherently not sustainable more than a decade ago, while being a student. I came up with a saying 'embrace the need not the end', hoping I could use it in some sustainability initiative. However instead of sustainability, got trapped in a subsistence life, only producing waste while others build profit on my labour/life. So one thing I won't agree on is about making more money, when one doesn't have enough, more money would make all the difference for them in this society, which promoted money from an exchange tool to a virtue. To start with money was used to make transactions easier, and now we've made societies a servant to it, and itself a tool to impose power on others. Maybe we can change the system but the key word here is 'we', you rarely can bring a positive systemic change alone...

[@amine-tp1ve]

Thank you for this good vedoe 😊❤ its very helpful

Thank you for this. I think there are many Indigenous Peoples who could add depth and insight to these ideas. (However, I’m not Indigenous and can’t properly speak to Indigenous knowledge and wisdom.)

Look into the Circular Economy

[@MussaMk]

Did he just miss the part where humans are driven by self interest, which is at the heart of economics? Activism can eradicate competition? He is not advocating socialism is he? The heart of the argument is that ecology is threatened. Who will deploy their capital, retirement fund, savings, for return on "interbeing". There are definitely other approaches to revive the ecology. Recreating the economy sounds like fun. Oh wait, privatisation of natural resources... its already coming down the pipes...

[@Ami5Jo]

That's why we are the only species that actively destroy the habitat we live in. I don't think this was about socialism the big boogey in your mind but neoliberalism is a true horror show. What's so awful about living with less material and not letting money control our lives?

[@Zen_Ali_123]

When the onset of universal night is finally acknowledged as irreversible, even the coldest cynic will be astonished at the celerity with which every rule and stricture shoring up this creaking edifice is abandoned and every aberancy embraced. It should be quite a spectacle. However brief.

[@Zen_Ali_123]

It's a note I made thinking I'd remember the source. I believe it's from The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy, but don't quote me on that.

Good and interesting talk. Simplified too much in some aspects. Otherwise very eye-opening or at least reminding for everyone watching.

[@khaimgulkovich3368]

Life, as a natural phenomenon, is the process of knowing the Universe.

[@connorshelp301]

Your too vague you need to back up your statements with evidence.

[@MussaMk]

Fluff fluff fluff. Nothing concrete. What are Gen Y or Z doing? The purpose/meaning that can replace retirement incomes from sustained growth? How will the new economics restore the ecosystem? Nothing of substance. His research hasnt even started and got a slot here on TedX.

[@MussaMk]

@bdkhd8944 What do you mean? There is substance in the talk? There are solutions that will sustain the needs of the modern man and sustain the ecosystem... better yet revitalize it?

[@dorteefarrar8930]

Why?

[@Noland55]

What ignorance of history. His problem is a classic 1st world issue. The luxury of his sheltered life allows his utopian speculation. And something very similar to the 60's. Then children grew up.

[@princegobi5992]

Utopian speculation? Do you think indigenous activists trying to defend the rainforest that we all benefit from in places like Brazil and Colombia, are just also sheltered? Industrial worker’s in Africa fighting for better labor conditions and pollution regulation by US corporations sheltered as well? Who will fight for a sustainable planet and a future worth living in if you “grew up”? It’s capitalism that’s killing the world and needs to be dismantled and that isn’t a new hypothesis particular to one era “the 60s”.

[@funnytv-1631]

Look at the sunlight warming the day. The light you see has traveled over ninety-million miles to greet you. These rays arrive, one after another, every instant to brighten the world around you. But if you were to hold up a convex lens, you would experience even more of its power. Imagine harnessing the power of your mind like a convex lens. Like cars merging when lanes are reduced, you can concentrate your thoughts together. What could you switch off today so that all your power might converge like rays of the sun brought into a focus?

[@shrimpkins]

What is this guy even talking about?

[@nimoo9]

I love the fact that he reminds us that at the centre of everything is life and not the economy.

[@khaimgulkovich3368]

Our goal is to make the Technosphere independent of the Biosphere by replacing talking domesticated primates with true human being.

[@ZPositive]

Ahh yes, another watermelon. Green on the outside, red on the inside. Commies gonna commie.

[@princegobi5992]

Is that a problem? The earth is being completely decimated by the capitalist mode of production. I’m sure you are fine with that, as long as you can play red scare.

[@ZPositive]

@@princegobi5992 I reject the premise entirely. Go to communist China. Look at what their economic system did to their environment.

[@MussaMk]

@@ZPositive And where would China be without this environmental destruction. The world wouldn't even be this connected. All these gadgets we are using to connect across the globe, came at a cost. The question is, how do we restore the damage? I sure hope it doesn't cost as much as it benefits us. Watched the video hoping to find answers, anything concrete, yet its just air.

[@ZPositive]

@@MussaMk nobody asked China to ignore its environment. Their environment is their responsibility, not anyone else's.

[@MussaMk]

@@ZPositive Dangerous way to look at it. Its a global ecosystem. The damage on one part of the world could have repercussions on the opposite end of the world. But I guess we are okay for now.
