Douglas Adams: Parrots the Universe and Everything
Loading...
Uploaded by UCtelevision on May 22, 2008
Douglas Adams was the best-selling British author and satirist who created The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In this talk at UCSB recorded shortly before his death, Adams shares hilarious accounts of some of the apparently absurd lifestyles of the world's creatures, and gleans from them extraordinary perceptions about the future of humanity.

I am not only a practicing Christian, but a devout Mormon, and I loved this video. I know a lot of people might think I'm crazy for believing what I do, and I can respect that. The thing is, if this world is created for my species, then we'd better take care of it! I'd happily work side by side with someone who may disagree with my theology if we're both at the goal of sustainability and respecting and caring for the planet on which we both rely.

He is right the world will be ok without us. We need the world. We are bound to extinction now because we kill it like a cancer growing ever faster.
