It is sad that this 'expert' talked about a 'Lanchester' bomber' Sadder still that it was not just a mistake when speaking because his presentation slide also showed Lanchester. Americans, please note it was the 'Lancaster' bomber which carried so many brave airmen across Germany. That's LANCASTER.You can read all about it - just 'Google'.Seeing such a rudimentary error at the start of this speech meant there was no point watching further.

...When nature is left intact and uncontrolled, there will be no extreme exponential population growth and no need for 'population control' or 'population reduction'. Industry is destroying the possibility for many many species to survive and contribute to the natural abundance.Basically; modern rural , elite ruled, industrial free market society is destroying the environment- and the worst thing is, it is because of greed. Free markets are only free for those who dominate the markets.

basically; western, profit-based, free market-society is accountable for the ever increasing population growth. Capitalism and communism or any - ism for that matter wouldnt help anything to stop growth; work-ethics are destroying the freedom of people to be apart from polluting society.

... the incessant need for consumers, to feed the machine of overproduction and unnecessary 'products'. Nature is altered to sustain a short-sighted worldview of information-starved slaves.Produce is shipped out of out of poor countries whose starving populace isnt getting any of the best products. Destruction of forests is endangering our natural oxygen supply. Free market basically accounts for most narrowmindedness and pollution. Religion does the rest. Profit is parasitic use of resources.

I think free market is not the only way; I think we should stop using money and go back to trade again; even to a form of tribal life. Modern industrial and commercial society, with work ethics and governemnt control of people's lifes is the thing that makes life into a totally unchallenging and predatory society, where the few rule the many, and every person is forced to abide by the rules of the unnatural elite. Free market is ruining nature. population will keep growing, this way, due to...

That is what humans use it for. But the end result will just prove that it really doesnt matter. At the end, we will learn from the experience. AS far as how we use it till then is up to us. But in general, people are weak, insecure and greedy. Are you suprised that our government is the same. But its our inability to understand the exponential function that tells you everything. Free market is the only way. Othewise history repeats itself. This is first time it can be over come
