Excellent, best yet! Realize a reason this type of innovation is not explored is due to a global economic system based upon consumption driving profit margins. Corporate controlled government want to continue their hegemony via margin maximization and control over the economy and political control models are based upon tax revenues. If existing consumptive based models diminish due to innovative efficiency they would lose their hegemony. The failure to adopt is an economic command control issue.
To naprawdę wspaniała architektura i co najważniejsze sprzyja rozpakowywaniu się naszej biologii, bo jest fraktalna.Możemy więc w pełni się rozwijać bo nasza naturalna energia nie jest w żaden sposób blokowana. No i możemy zauważyć, sposób w jaki wszystko ze sobą się wiąże, tworzenie pozytywnych pętli daje niesamowite możliwości. Takie technologie są nam bardzo, bardzo potrzebne, byśmy mogli wreszcie prawidłowo się rozwijać jako świadome społeczeństwo.
This talk almost gave me hope in humanity. Quite an achievement. Thanks! Also, I am fully appreciating the irony that after all of our "progress", we find ourselves going back to nature for lessons in living intelligently and sustainably.
@roidroid But you need to make those in the first place, and get more energy out of them than you put in; is that feasible? Genuine question here. Plastic is made from oil as well, no oil, no plastic roof by the way.
@MatsMinds plastic can be made from various renewables as well.
i don't think he said anywhere in the video that he's going to be dropped in the desert naked, and he needs to build all his own tools, harvest all of his energy (starting with nothing!) and then create these things from scratch. He didn't say that. We CAN use already existing tools to create these things to reach our goals.
It will take energy to create. They won't break-even instantly, no investment does that.
@roidroid No he didn't say that, I ám saying that I'm highly skeptical of this very optimistic world view where we could somehow become sustainable while still basing ourselves on depleting resources. If we can make these type of things from chitin and mirrors I'd be a lot happier (I like the video overall by the way thought). But our dependency on oil for.. well, everything (fertilizers not being least of all) leads me to believe that we shouldn't be so confident about this.
@MatsMinds ah i see. So it's more that... we should have ways of creating these structures and buildings that doesn't deplete resources. It looks like it's mostly created of steel, concrete and plastic.
yeah i suppose it's a valid point. It'd take a lot more planning to make it absolutely zero impact, it may even be worth doing. But i'd hate to see the project procrastinated into oblivion while striving after such perfection. I'd rather see something built now, and treat it as a step.
@MatsMinds It's the need to make money (from oil for example) that holds back the wide use of sustainable systems. The technology is there, it's just not being used to it's full potential.
To the democrats I voted for I make the following appeal: In order to make our economy more robust and our businesses more competitive please 1. raise interest rates to encourage consumers to save more which will also give banks more capital to lend out to businesses and 2. repeal the minimum wage back to the ‘06 level. This is the only way to spur new growth without increasing the deficit. In fact, this would reduce the deficit, reduce unemplymt., and increase bus. growth & competitiveness.
Examples from biology used in structures is fascinating. The Chinese Olympics swimming pool building was made to look like bubbles and I wondered if this was also environmentally a resource saving? Plant cells as a design tool - interesting.
Harvesting solar is expensive and if degrades over time creating waste products. Where gravity seems to be endless. We can harvest the difference between the gravitational pull of the moon, as gravity is the most powerful force in the universe, using exsisting technology. How much would you pay for free power for the rest of your life? $100, $1000, $5000. Projects like these are hard to fund because of BP, Mobil, caltex etc. It will take power of the people to get this one up and running.
@geza96 that's not true; gravitational force is actually one of the weaker forces in the universe. watch Brian Greene's NOVA special, he does a good job explaining all the different forces and their hierarchy.
"gravity is the most powerful force in the universe"
Actually, gravity is the weakest of the interactive forces. The strong nuclear force is many magnitudes stronger, but of course you need nuclear plants that harvest even a tiny fraction of that.
one of the shortest presentation of ideas on TedTalks. I believe in nature as does he, as we all should. Reconnect and we shall live prosperously. Really inspiring!!! thumbs up
These are great ideas, but how do we make it happen?
In an old TED speech given by Bjorn Lomborg, he spoke about how to prioritize our focuses in saving the world. He made so much sense, but once again it's not as easy as just talking about it. How can people contribute to such a cause? Where would they look?
Would a place like Iceland be a good place to start implementing some of these elements of The Sustainability Revolution ? I think so because of the presence of geothermal-energy there.
what if ideas like this were planted into kids heads like this instead of rehashed and regurgitated stuff. . send their minds spinning.with possibityes . . this what school ought be about. . .there would no be a bored kid in class
This started out with so much promise but then it just went off in an looney environmentalist tangent. I would rather listen to the women talks than this nonsense.
I like this talk. Using evolution to further innovate architecture is a great idea. The potential of solar panels is being shown in Spain and its annoying to know its just brushed under the carpet as an alternative fuel source. I look at the rooftops of London and see thousands of acres of potential energy conversion space. Not the best country of course but the idea is sound.
I have to say, this advertising they do at the end actually got me to listen to all of it. I just spent the entire time reading comments and talking to a friend about the video while this commercial was on.
2 higest rated comments are so true, at last someone stand up to say the truth , that recent videos were feminist bull**** and theists should be very confused.
On topic : Great talk, really worth to spread, at least it was intresting idea, and well presented indeed.
Dear TED, please invite Architect/Painter Paul Laffoley to present some of his mind expanding designs in the near future. His deal not only with optimizing the physical environment, but also the sensibilities and conditions inherent within consciousness as optimized coherent forms emerge internally and externally. As society evolves, so do the sensibilities. And today, it's evident there are many individuals who would welcome new forms of perception and coherence. (thx for all the illuminations)
If money wasn't an barrier, we could be doing this right now, on a global scale. But no, we will continue cyclical consumption to the point of near extinction and destroy the environment as we do that. All thanks to the monetary system.
Unfortunately, technology costs money (to build, maintain, even repair) and most corporations and goverments (with their 4 year terms) don't think long term (10, 20, even 30 years) they want their buck now.
@JmkLcAeJsm what if ideas like this were planted into kids heads like this instead of rehashed and regurgitated stuff. . send their minds spinning.with possibityes . . this what school ought be about. . .there would no be a bored kid in class
@twistedbass I'm sure you jumped to the wrong conclusion. I too noticed the females on TED are in a completely different league than this guy and a lot of innovators before him on TED.
Women don't make me nervous but damn those on TEd sure lack quality and that's frustrating.
@ratje67 Quality is a perception, there is no reality. I am a human being. I don't judge someone by their gender, All i see is a human being talking about what matters to him or her. Humanity first gender second. A cat is a cat if its black or white. men are men if they are black or white. Humans are humans male or female. Does a racist prefer white dogs to black dogs ? Does your gender come before your humanity ??
@twistedbass15 yeah, very PC of you. I wouldn't judge by gender, an idea is an idea. But if TED divides by gender we can judge gender, that's excactly the intent of having TED-women. They organise all female meetings and that's where the gender judging began. Quality in technology is NOT just a perception, even in art and music there's difference in quality. Bad songs and bad talks exist.
Compared to the gender neutral talks (where men dominate, I agree) The female equivalent is painfully lame.
@ratje67 Again, there is no reality !! Bad taste is a perception, bad music is a perception. I do agree that Ted women makes us judge gender, but sexist comments are retarded.
All music is good its just a matter of taste.
There is no such thing as bad weather.
Most humans lack a broad view
Most people moan when it rains but the essence of life falls free from the sky.
@twistedbass15 I think you need to work on your perception if you deny the existence of reality and can't distinguish difference in quality. ( I never mentioned taste)
And first of all I want you to point out where I was being sexist
@ratje67 its ok man, go back to sleep, everything is ok, don't worry, pay your taxes, go to work, don't think too much, the sun rises and sets, democracy is real, america is the greatest country in the world, armies fight for peace, weather is good and bad, television is a great source of knowledge, cures for cancer don't exist, our governments care for us, all religious people are sane, vote, have sex , buy a big screen tv, relax, everything is ok, cuppa tea ??
@dootzky TED videos are about the universal in-built intrinsic value of humanity (men and women and everything in between is counted as human) and IMHO you have clearly missed the point of the TED talks you label as boring feminist bullshit.. trying to bring us closer together might be boring to you, but you can always not watch it. peace to u.
@dootzky ditto. I am not proud of a gender, nationality, *race*, ethnicity, and so on. No-one ever did anything to earn those, they were just born into it. Its brilliant ideas like this that matter.
@OldSchoolSkill too late, the democrats didn't wake up for the November 2010 elections and now we have to fight stupidity every other day from the republicans. Forget about less killing, etc - they will slash public education so that people are more ignorant than they already are. (The republicans are not aware that they are dangerously coming close to the situation in Egypt ...)
So when can I buy I my giant dome with a custom ecosystem. I tired of living in my house I want to live in a giant dome where I can sleep in a hammock and eat off the land.
I was going to say that using carbon nanotubes, like the Japanese plan on doing with the pyramid(shimizu), but I think this is much more cost-efficient. Great work!

@twistedbass15 yeah, very PC of you. I wouldn't judge by gender, an idea is an idea. But if TED divides by gender we can judge gender, that's excactly the intent of having TED-women. They organise all female meetings and that's where the gender judging began. Quality in technology is NOT just a perception, even in art and music there's difference in quality. Bad songs and bad talks exist.
Compared to the gender neutral talks (where men dominate, I agree) The female equivalent is painfully lame.

@ratje67 Again, there is no reality !! Bad taste is a perception, bad music is a perception. I do agree that Ted women makes us judge gender, but sexist comments are retarded.
All music is good its just a matter of taste.
There is no such thing as bad weather.
Most humans lack a broad view
Most people moan when it rains but the essence of life falls free from the sky.

@twistedbass15 I think you need to work on your perception if you deny the existence of reality and can't distinguish difference in quality. ( I never mentioned taste)
And first of all I want you to point out where I was being sexist

@ratje67 its ok man, go back to sleep, everything is ok, don't worry, pay your taxes, go to work, don't think too much, the sun rises and sets, democracy is real, america is the greatest country in the world, armies fight for peace, weather is good and bad, television is a great source of knowledge, cures for cancer don't exist, our governments care for us, all religious people are sane, vote, have sex , buy a big screen tv, relax, everything is ok, cuppa tea ??

@dootzky TED videos are about the universal in-built intrinsic value of humanity (men and women and everything in between is counted as human) and IMHO you have clearly missed the point of the TED talks you label as boring feminist bullshit.. trying to bring us closer together might be boring to you, but you can always not watch it. peace to u.

@dootzky I think I've been watching some alternate universe version of TED where most talks are pretty interesting.

@dootzky I think if you look closer this is feminist too.

@dootzky it did seem like for a while that TED was being overrun with feminism, it's a legit argument tho, but in moderation ;)

@dootzky ditto. I am not proud of a gender, nationality, *race*, ethnicity, and so on. No-one ever did anything to earn those, they were just born into it. Its brilliant ideas like this that matter.

@OldSchoolSkill too late, the democrats didn't wake up for the November 2010 elections and now we have to fight stupidity every other day from the republicans. Forget about less killing, etc - they will slash public education so that people are more ignorant than they already are. (The republicans are not aware that they are dangerously coming close to the situation in Egypt ...)
