Calling cultures living simpler, more traditional lives non-civilized is racial bigotry. Look for traditional Japan and many other cultures to see that sustainable lifestyles with limited resources need not be uncivilized. It's the industrial abuse of cheap abundant petroleum that turned blessings into curses - not the foundation civilisations. Technology and global civilisation will remain even after Peak Oil, Peak Food and Peak Population...
i think you may be mistaking the term "civilized." what is meant is a way of life characterized by a 'growth in CITIES'.. growing cancers that are dependent on the cheap importation of resources to legitimize the death of the land under those cities. it is not a sustainable model.. no one speaking in this video would use "civilized" as a compliment.. i cannot wait to be uncivilized, sustainable.. there is really no racial component whatsoever.
that as been on earth for at least three hundred and sixty million years,i believe this fish holds the secret to our success and that is move very slowly and change very little because that's what the coelacanth has done until a live specimen was caught in 1938 it was thought to have gone extinct 200 million years ago,it is very,very, primitive ,but it is alive and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless other species.
what a tired critique.." why don't you offer solutions?"
it is a strawman argument, coaxed out of absurdity to put people back to sleep.
the SOLUTION is very much like the 'solution' for cancer.
a scalpel.
also, the idea of human entitlement is pure mythology...evolution knows nothing of this silly idea; "most advanced" ..it is a human religious invention.

there is a species of fish called a coelacanth
that as been on earth for at least three hundred and sixty million years,i believe this fish holds the secret to our success and that is move very slowly and change very little because that's what the coelacanth has done until a live specimen was caught in 1938 it was thought to have gone extinct 200 million years ago,it is very,very, primitive ,but it is alive and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless other species.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
All I hear is complaints, no solutions.
Everyone can complain, it takes WORK to find solutions.
Use a little common sense, ending civilization, ends the most advanced species this planet has created. I say
we move forward--not backward!
