Captain Cook 40 years later. He wasn't even born until 86 years after Tasman's voyage in 1642. It's 140 years later - 1770s.

Animals are democratic, hm.... Maybe that's why the "elites" want a democratic system on this planet... to keep us at the animal level

Nice interview. I like his way of thinking.

About population. It's not as simple as having educated women.

In the case of the two island 1k apart. Perhaps the type of fish or food made the difference. With iron in your diet you become less narcissistic, with zinc in your diet your become more narcissistic, due to hemoglobin levels.

As muslims don't eat much meat it might explain the saudi population problem. Perhaps a lack of narcissism explains why women have education.

Tell Thom thanks

Thom is a prophet of our times. He is a meticulous researcher, a man of integrity and he speaks in easily understandable metaphors like the deers etc. We must read his works and use it as a text book to train others, to entrain others to influence others that we CAN make a difference. GREAT interview.

A bit like what Terence Mckenna always talked about

[papertrails2you]

Power and Material possessions. Ownership, a car, a home, a boat, expensive jewelry. Keep up with the Jones's - this is drilled into our heads everyday. The T.V has done this with commercials of products that you must own, must have to attain the status quo.

It is possible to break away from it, but, your family and friends etc. will dislike you. They want you to do what they are doing. Buying, consuming, going into debt.

This consumption style has led us to our present situation.

'Democracy is in our DNA' - quote of the century!

[dutytocareforothers]

Thom talks about people as if they are herds of animals. That is too hilarious. I would hope he would encourage people to think for themselves.

I love Thom for so many personal reasons but I listen to him not only because he is smart but because his ideas and concerns come from a good place. Millionaires like Rush are all about the money and pure hatred. Rush speaks with a vicious tongue and that tells you where his heart is...
