John Zerzan: Earth's Global Crisis 6/8

http://layla.miltsov.org/introduction-to-z

John Zerzan is one of the most interesting contemporary thinkers in the United States, at least. Like everything else in life, in order to fully appreciate Zerzan's contribution to epistemology or the philosophy of civilisation, first, one has to read his work and hear his conferences -- for, here, I only present my personal interpretation of his theory -- and second, consider the context through which his voice and energy resonate. His contribution becomes even more impressive in light of the processes of Western institutionalisation of Thought and commodification of Knowledge -- a totalitarian context that tolerates no challenge (philosophical or otherwise) that would threaten "the American way of life".

he doesn't have to provide accurate alternatives to a way forward, he is just trying to say that as a global community, if we recognized the mess we have got ourselves into, and aim as a body of people to rectify the problem, that we do have the potential to get our world back into sustainable order

This guy talks totally in non sequiturs. They guy with the accent is right... he's not providing the way forward, he doesn't even provide any decent definitions.
