@SenNoSenProject "At 4:35, I think that Aubrey Manning "...makes a huge mistake when he says that "microbes don't need protection" compared to tigers etc.
I am certain that he knows this very well and just had a absent moment but people must realise that microbial biodiversity is as important, if not perhaps more important than the biodiversity of higher organisms.
A very unfortunate statement from an otherwise very brilliant man"

What a wonderful conversation! Cheers!



I agree.. i truly think our best hope for the future of our species is the miracle of education. Imagine.. if every person on earth had a fraction of these mens intelligence and understanding.
A free proper education to any human willing to accept it would be a nice start in rooting out the type of people like the lets say.. 50 million who would vote for a john mccain that take our species and well being backwards.
