John Zerzan: Earth's Global Crisis 7/8

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".

This is the point, you don't have to have answers for all the questions. It's up to every individual to come up with answers and act and react to situations that lie ahead. He is not a second christ or hitler or some other great leader to have answers.

Ha, ha it's so liberating and supportive to hear him say:

'So well...what do you do? I don't know...' (shrug).

Thanks for sharing this series.

He has no answers! He's a terrible speaker! And he's not a PhD
