Critical planet with interesting people.

Those who do not have the full range of human emotion gravitate to positions of control and power.  They manipulate with ease because they can do nothing else.

It is a paradox that those with less upstairs climb to the heights.

This is one of Rachel's top 10 interviews IMHO.  It starts with some awesome music.

Why Young People Want to Die | Derrick Jensen Interview

The dis-em-body-ment of the internet and modern life.  The society of the spectacle.  Plugging the void.

Interesting.  What is the cost of the metal for the bus.  Lots of interesting stuff.  The deals we make with the devil.  The exchanges we make for luxuries.  Being less dramatic we accept the system for what life gives us.  All the system.  Not part of it.

And at the end we become the commodity.  A commodity that never questions the system.  The outsourcing of life.  Lots of good stuff gets said once Derrick gets rolling.

An outstanding conversation.  While the climate crowd drives to protest oil companies and dreams of powdered iron nothing is done to change a damn thing.

Growth is going to kill us and there is too much social immaturity to change that certainty.  There is no magic bullet in overshoot.

Art Berman felt like it was time to stop playing nice and start saying it like it is.

Good Job Rachel for moving the discussion out of the infantile doldrums collapse awareness has been stuck in for far too long.  Perhaps it is the proxy wars that we have no say in that pissed them off.  Regardless a good show solidly grounded in reality.

My only criticism is drop the mandatory Putin insult.  You don't need it.

Anyone besides me ever meet Art Berman in person?

"Saying it like it is.."  Did he really start doing that instead of...you know....not doing that?
