Paul Hawken: Blessed Unrest, Bioneers 2006

[rep71le]

Is he talking about the ZeitGeist Movement? :D Looks like a similar idea, just poorly integrated.

This video seems to be just a self promotion of a profit-based organisation =)

I'm not the one to judge, though

[napalmvoododaddy]

@rep71le how'a it going ? well. to answer your question. no. no hawken isn't talking anout zeitgeist. i wondered this before. if you watch a movie called " thrive ". it's the full length version, 2:08:40, here on youtube. around 1:42:00 in there, it is touched on what he talks about here. if you watch the movie. please get back to me in a comment. i'm interested in your point of view. thanks.

democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding who's for dinner. remember: any form of government is tyranny.

[aprilreeves1]

I watch this video every day: it's so inspiring. I volunteer for one of the organizations Paul talks about: it makes me realize how important this work I do is! I work to keep our food system safe and free from corporate control. It's my vision to see each of us able to access and afford quality food anywhere in the world.

[thebigstir]

Thank you for this video! We need to see this every day.

When the silver chord ids broken at the cistern?

[deenaaroundtheworld]

is it me or do all the environmental show producers prove to be hypocritical in the locations which they choose to advocate their messages? al gore in his movie, this hawken guy, they should be outdoors using natural light and fresh air while dispersing their message instead of indoors using power for ac and lights.

[F8L]

Attend or organize enough conferences and you'll soon realize that an indoor venue is really the only quality option when you have hundreds of people and require good sound and video quality. Paul was only one of a great many speakers present at these conferences.

[AnamikaRealm]

@deenaaroundtheworld  Exactly.

There was an article written by Paul Hawken

"Skeleton Woman", which literally changed my life. I realized I'd been brainwashed all my life. Oh why oh why is he capitalistic then?

[concern4civility]

There is an expression: "Cut off the head and the tail and eat the fish." Tossing a phrase like "he's a capitalist" is empty & meaningless. Who is so pure that they can be throwing stones?

[eccemarco]

paul you are great!

Implicitly every political tendency entails an ideology whether or not it is propounded as an explicit system of thought.

so... caused by ideologies, a? ;)

[vedicAi]

An ideology can be thought of as a comprehensive vision, as a way of looking at things, as in common sense and several philosophical tendencies, or a set of ideas proposed by the dominant class of a society to all members of this society. The main purpose behind an ideology is to offer change in society through a normative thought process. Ideologies are systems of abstract thought applied to public matters and thus make this concept...

... central to politics.

[vedicAi]

superb. Scientology 2.0RC1.

(sorry for 3 comments, but...)

An ideology is an organized collection of ideas.

The word ideology was coined by Count Antoine Destutt de Tracy in the late 18th century to define a "science of ideas."

The important work of ngos and non-profit organizations could be more effective by providing an even playing ground and networking forum for orgs to demonstrate the work they are doing and to discover groups working in any field.

This is one of the purposes of WiserEarth[dot]org, the website Hawken has been working on for the past two years.

[myko]

I'd begin by browsing organizations or people located in the city you live in.

Check out some of the 379 areas of focus that covers the fields of social and environmental justice, including: Workers Rights, Environmental Education, Peace and Peacemaking and Local Food Systems. Organizations and resources are classified under multiple areas of focuses.

I attended this event. So powerful. Now we simply need to bring it into the mainstream!
