Ever wanted to have dinner with Derrick Jensen, discuss philosophy and resistance over the phone or webcam, or pore over the original manuscripts of masterpieces such as Endgame, Dreams, or What We Leave Behind?

If every adult on the planet watched "What a Way To Go" with an open mind the world would be changed forever. To think that you are only one person brings on a sense of hopelessness. Fortunately ALL 7 Billion of US are just ONE Person. I've watched "What a Way To Go" at least a dozen times and filled at least two notebooks with thoughts about it. It FORCES the viewer to think. (Having studied Economics for over 30 years gives me a quite unique perspective...)
wikipedia: Jensen says that he sees civilization to be inherently unsustainable and based on violence. He argues that the modern industrial economy is fundamentally at odds with healthy relationships, the natural environment, and indigenous peoples. .... Accordingly, he exhorts readers and audiences to help bring an end to industrial civilization. this man is much more intelligent and creative then myself, but to truly rally behind these ideas causes appears to be pure ideology.
@dinokralt4 You can call him a dreamer or whatever, but I think Jensen speaks the truth. People need to at least know what's going on in the world, even if they don't know what to do about it.
@bodryn i would never argue against the idea that there is not some truth in what Jansen is saying. I just feel that his massive speculative understanding of the causes and the subsequent remedies of the problems are massively infused with ideology. I would never wish to make such a man a leader of my personel worldview.
@dinokralt I think there comes a point in anybody's life that they realize there is no one person out there with all the answers. I think he can be quite enlightening, along with folks like Jacques Fresco, Alan Watts, et al, but ultimately we have to exercise our own common sense in regard to our own situation in the world.
why the fuck are great videos like this only getting viewed by something like one or two people a day. this is the kind of message that we need to spread to every smart, conscious American. Wake the fuck up
And yeah, it can be frustrating when at the same time, some irrelevant poop joke gets 100 times the views this gets... all the more proof that what Jensen and others are saying is true.
pass it on then. facebook, twitter, etc etc. When someone sends you a dumb joke send them a smart link. it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. --Samuel Adams.
@kmay7504 I haven't checked this for this video as I've only just come across this guy, but I know many videos on topics like this have their view counts reset to make it seem like they're not watched.

@bodryn doesn't common sense tell you that the solutions which are necessary to remedy his apoctolyptic prophesy reek of ideology?

@dinokralt What ideology would that be, I wonder?
