The engine of this growth machine is debt and interest based money for the economy not to slow or crash it has to grow at the rate of debt +interest. Through our acceptance of this foundational institutional structure were turning the world into money.

[summondadrummin]

We live inside a perpetual growth machine driven mostly by the 'needs' of money, those with money and your average persons continual need to earn money. Very little focus relatively is on caring for the planet, species extinction,climate change or simply being grateful for life. Most people don't have the time. Our foundational economic institutions are based on exploitation of people and planet.

Within the first minute of this mindless rhetoric, Swimme asserts about 20,000 different species go extinct every year. Trouble is, he can't name 10, nor 5, nay - even 1 - specie that goes extinct. This harum scarum is right out of the Paul Ehrlich playbook and should be ignored. Swimme has made a career out of force feeding to his listeners enough junk science and apocolyptic rhetoric to gag a tyrannosaur.

The golden toad recently disappeared. Many other amphibians are dying due to migration of molds and diseases.

You want me to list more recent ones like Pyrenean Ibex or West African Black Rhino. Want some birds? Po'o-uli or Spix's Macaw. Sealife? The Baiji Dolphin.

This is really happening. To think he is just scaremongering is rather narrow minded. Ask more questions and make less sweeping statements.

His point is we need to find a new way to coexist on this plant. Pillage politics failed.

[vicgdavis]

Slavesrevolt: you've named 5 extinct species. According to B.S. (get it?) you're 19,995 short... and so is he! You have a long way to go. I agree, his foolishness is less scaremongering, but more outright stupidity. B.S. wants you to think 20,000 extinctions due soley to human activities. Please, don't tell me you're that stupid too.

Vic is it possible that people who are smarter than you actually know what they are talking about? Or is Rush Limbaugh the only authority you recognize?

[Fendefadst]

Are you, for real, asking people to name 20 000 extinct animals? Are you stupid? Sorry, criticism usually needs argumentation(check the meaning of this word in any book about philosophy or formal logic) concerning the argument. I guess you think that what is meant by saying"animals have gone extinct" is sth like a eco-sentiment which would then really deserve prove, but thats not the case here. Try to reproduce what hes saying and then make up a point why your comment should matter atr all!

I wish to assist in increasing the awareness of abundance in our society. To show that prosperity consciousness is a necessary way of living in order to increase life within and without. In tandem, I live to keep the flow of beauty, wonder, and learning in motion in our daily lives. And of course the practice of Authentic Presence. Please say hello if you resonate with these words.
