Speech of Vinay Gupta at UNCIVILISATION, Dark Mountain Festival 2010 in Llangollen, Wales (29.5.2010). His talk was part of the "Time to stop pretending" panel (pls excuse the shaky and somewhat out of focus recording...)
Gupta was born in 1972 and is a partner at Buttered Side Down -- a risk management consultancy focusing on systemic risks like state failure and economic collapse.

This is nothing new. I've been considering these things for the past 12 or 13 years. He's telling things we already know, and nothing more.

Real actually useful tools, not just fancy ideas.

Uhm, unless you can feed yourself with photosynthesis, you can't stop being "violent" towards other "beings". Unless you starve yourself to death.
Interesting example on the Indian state though.
