get technology bitch i hate when people try back and talk about nature

[withDefiance]

@Hargaanti I think you did not quiet get the meaning of what this woman is saying are you? And I don't think this is a call for moving away from technology, but from unsustainable ways of living and working. Next to that, you seem to suggest that humans are in no relation to nature. Everything you eat is coming from nature. You are yourself, and thus you relate to it. Neglecting something you relate to as importantant is ridiculous.

Cheap Oil = Cheap Food. No Cheap Oil = Less People.... Learn to grow your own food....

I think people who get degrees -many of them end up in pushing paper at cubical jobs that seem to not really be necessary -like these jobs are devised simply to put people who got degrees & need to pay back student loans & create superficial appearance that something good came of the degrees --I think people should learn trades & agriculture & share in food production -food is important & meaningful & trades give people skills so they can serve others & take care of themselves.

HELLO THIS IS SUPER SCIENTIFIC ENGINEERING HQ GERMANY: HOW DO WE PLOW IN THE FUTURE? HOW DO WE COMMUNITY FINANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE, LASTING TECHNOLOGIES THAT FREE US AND NOT ENSLAVES US? (WE NEED TO PLOW DIFFERENTLY IN THE FUTURE, SOLAR DESALINATION PLANTS, SPONSORED BY GOVERNMENT WOULD BE NICE)

Sad seeing the factories of Sandwich workers. Happy to see bunnies and foxes running past the screen.

@penorpls If the USA and western 1st world countries stop polluting the world and wastefully consuming all the natural resources. Majority of Asian population live in rural regions, with no running water or electricity, eat a lot of veggies they grow themselves and are essentially making less of an impact all around compared to an American family.

Unfortunately, this young lady and her experts have been absorbed into the Oil Shortage Propaganda that the Oil Companies and Globalist Cabal are busy selling to the world when in fact there is so much oil everywhere that the opposite of what she is believing is true. This subsequently is a nicely done Propaganda film. Go look up Lindsey Williams and learn the truth.

@plasticspine "pestisides have kept us from starving " by US I take it you mean the explotative northern hemisphere of the planet. were you asleep while ethiopia and india was in famine, while their own seeds are being patented by multinationals. try googling palm oil, tar sands, logging. explotation is fuelled by profit maximisation not the benefit of human kind.

@MrJDoe9 I can tell you probably voted for Obama.

[MrJDoe9]

@penorpls I will give your comment more attention than it deserves, and point out that the problem of overuse of resources and pollution is driven not by the number of people living but rather the lifestyles of these people. So attempt to blame the developing and third-world nations if you wish, but it is our lifestyles in the developed economies which are running the world into the ground.
