NOW COMES GOOD SAILING: A VIRTUAL CONVERSATION
Переглядів 1413 роки тому
The world is never done catching up with Henry David Thoreau. A prophet of environmentalism and vegetarianism, an abolitionist, and a critic of materialism and technology, Thoreau even seems to have anticipated a world of social distancing in his famous experiment at Walden Pond. In "Now Comes Good Sailing" (Princeton University Press), twenty-seven of today’s leading writers offer wide-ranging...

Welchen Sinn hat es, über das Leben zu schreiben, wenn das Leben an sich, die besten Geschichten schreibt.... Und wäre dann, das „Erleben" an sich, nicht die einzige Möglichkeit, in diesem vom Leben selbst geschrieben Buch zu Lesen? N.O.E. from Wipperfürth
Thank you
This is why I am a proud conservative. Just like Thoreau! Anti-slavery, pro-free speech (let’s see if the Left censors me here for telling the truth), pro-civil rights (more Republicans signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act than Democrats), the EPA and the ADA were created by Republican administrations, etc. Ask yourself, which political party was pro-slavery, pro-Jim Crow, pro-Eugenics, against desegregation (via Dixiecrat governors), pro-welfare, pro-abortion (Google Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and her views on blacks), etc. Like Thoreau, I am a conservative!
Climate change activists are mischaracterizing Thoreau. Read Walden, and make your own conclusion. Don’t let the Leftists in this video think for you. Thoreau believed strongly in independent thinking, and not conforming to societies dictates.
In some ways this was beautiful and introspective but then the left wing narrator Robert Redford as well as Ken Burns with his selective interviews started promoting that "global warming" and environmentalist crap which really ruined it. Thoreau said that "the government which governs best is the one that governs least" yet this film pushed the global warming Theory which demands that the government take over industry, transportation and energy. So in the name of honoring the libertarian Thoreau they want us to have a total government where politicians will throw us in jail for using fossil fuels or digging a ditch on our own land. I hope more people notice this little sleight of hand in the messaging because the road does not at all want us to have government controlling everything in the name of the environment or stopping non-existent "global warming."
The thoughts and ideas of Thoreau are beautiful. To practice Budhism is also a beautiful method to see the same unity of all things and to thus to find peace and tranquility
By the way, is NOT “climate change” is CONTAMINATION, yes the one that government supports and wants to blames us for, sick of this manipulation.
Eww!!! Don Henley get lost! WALDEN is about beauty and simplicity of life, nothing that you represent greedy Vulture!
Thoreau took to the woods, while blacks and asians of the time took whips to their backs and fists to their faces due to not being born white. regarding walden pond today, its filled with litter and hordes of people, which is in direct opposition to thoreaus life undertaking. In all modern aspects of the word, Thoreau was an abnormal incel, and hermit, yet due to historic appropriation, he is regarded as a sage philosopher? lol mankind is cute, intellect is a curse, and ignorance is pure bliss.
using thoreau to propagandize climate BS and legitimize eco terrorism...thumbs down :P
This radical book is never exhausted. You could even say his dream house informs the current "tiny house" movement and self-sufficiency experiments ("living off-grid").
which the g'vt is trying to make illegal...laws against harvesting rain water, backyard chickens, turning your lawn into a food forest...they don't want self reliant populations...
Grande Thoreau. ¡Gracias!
Wonderful documentary on Walden, thank you!
You lost me on climate change. Jeez
I remember being introduced to Thoreau in high school by my AP English teacher Mrs. Keeton. From that moment, I thought about my life in a different manner and now at the age of 50 when I really stop to think, I can see just how influential that book was on me as a person. I have very little material wealth, as I really have no NEED for much. What I DO have in abundance is an appreciation for the relationships that I have had so far and countless memories that I could turn around and relate to someone else. Henry David Thoeau, in my opinion anyway, is THE transcendental figure from our past that we can learn the most meaningful lessons from. Truly an unforgettable human being!
I agree. Emerson may have been the father of transcendentalism or whatever, but Thoreau is THE key figure - because he so utterly lived it!
... All of Thoreau's ideas and advice is completely authentic. It's down to earth yet also so ethereal and idealistic, like a divine being striving (and succeeding - as much as we can) to remain god-like in this hard world.
I cried through most of this beautiful film. 💚💫🌳🌲
Folks, if you can do it, get to Walden Pond and stand at that cabin site. I have done it. If you go there, you may come to think, as so many now do (I among them), that an honest future is possible for humanity. - (signed) Toomas Karmo, in Nõo Rural Municipality, south-central Estonia
I don't think Thoreau would have come to the same conclusion that the narrator did regarding climate change being caused by human activities. He knew and described the fact that the weather was erratic and and examined the available evidence. He predicted that science would improve and no doubt would have come to a different conclusion that the narrator did. He described how men could deceive others whether by ignorance or design,
THANK YOU! i couldn't agree more but i will anyway!
Exactly! I'm glad someone else besides me caught this! Thoreau was a small government libertarian and here they are preaching a bogus global warming theory that demands that politicians control energy, transportation and Industry.
It takes courage and conviction to believe.
Walden was a pessimistic anti-industrialist. He would’ve been nonplussed at the greed that has fueled climate change.
I love Thoreau's Walden. It's a beautiful, inspirational book that I first read when I was about eighteen and will always enjoy. It's such a shame that this pleasant film was ruined by the nonsensical propaganda about "climate change." It's complete BS. Give it a rest.
You must be a wingnut conspiracy theorist if you believe that.
That's precisely what happened. Pillock.@@Crackdennumber1

Awesome!
Loved it! Thank you.
Love this, thank you!
Simplesmente maravilhoso! ❤❤❤❤
We shouldn't be surprised that a Ken Burns produced documentary be so powerful, but wow. This one really speaks to me and my personal journey. Thank you, Walden Woods Project.
Thank you - I'm on chapter with the Winter Animals - I grew up in Montreal in 1949 to 1959 - I saw and felt aaa that Henry did. I'm thankful I had that experience as a young person. Now reading Walden has made me realize I see the world very much like Henry. A true blessing.
Is that Robert Redford narrating? I knew McCullough voice before I saw him.👍👍
yes!
Yes, that's where we get the left wing environmentalist narrative from.
Wonderful in so many ways! Thank you for making this video available! My father taught my sibs and me to love, care for and reverence nature from a very young age. As Thoreau points out so well there are lessons that can only be learned when one is outside in nature away from noise, busyness and the focus on doing things rather than just being. I recently read an article about how the majority of people are actually afraid of silence. How incredibly sad! It is in silence that we can think without distractions, where we can come to know ourselves and to allow the universe to teach us its deepest truths and secrets.
i read that recently too and it IS sad...and i just spent four hours in my backyard hammock watching clouds and birds with nothing but their songs and the wind playing in the background...i feel nothing but grateful to be alive and to witness god's beautiiful fallen world <3 i wish that kind of peace to all beings everywhere <3
Terrific! Thank you for the pleasure and the inspiration. I believe Henry David Thoreau also said something like "You must have a genius for charity as well as for everything else".He lead by example and believed in the power that one steady self -reliant,accountable civilian could help raise all boats.Thank you to our Unsung Heroes and Heroines working on the frontline and making the world a better place for all especially the weak and the hungry .He would be so proud of your daily efforts ☘️

"The planet is heating with extraordinary speed the man tells you at 16 22. What he doesn't tell you is that this is from geoengineering and chem trails. Any self righteous clown who think they are educated need to get their heads out of their ass and fight the insane billionaires like Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum that are behind it all.
Beautifully made film filled with history and natural beauty. I participated in a Walk for Walden Woods in the 90s and I can still remember how magical this place was then. Thank you Don Henley and the Walden Woods Project for all you have done and continue to do to protect this historic natural treasure. ♥️
So beautifully said :) I was lucky enough to visit Walden Pond a few years ago and also found it to be absolutely magical! Haunted with some sort of magic. Such a hallowed place. Driving up to it in my rental car, I was surprised to find that I was so overcome with the beautiful power of the place that I began to cry. Then I approached the ticket seller booth and tried to quickly look like I had it under control. ... anyways, I took would like to thank all the people who preserve this beautiful place, and this American treasure.
@@cormorant_on_arock7934Aw! Thank you. I'm so glad you got to see and experience it for yourself. I hope the feeling of Walden stays with you as it has with me. 🤗🌲
Excellent stuff. I'll be watching this again.
Thoreau Vive Deliberativamente
Walden is the best book I have ever read.
Thoreau was a libertarian, through and through.
and not a shitsucking dope smoking free loving libertarian...but a good old fashioned anti government free thinking self reliant libertarian <3
You're right! Yet this film promotes statism and big government in the name of combating so-called "global warming." Those who preached about global warming want the government to take over industry, energy and transportation.
I will be the Thoreau of Turkey.
Awesome video guys, big fan of Thoreau from Brazil.❤
I join with the others in thanking you for making and sharing this beautiful little film. I first read Walden in 2014 and, in ways that I am still coming to understand, it changed my life - indeed, my understanding of what and why life is. My 'inner Walden' is now nurtured by a few acres of land to which I now belong. It looks after me at least as much as I do it, and it motivates and informs my thoughts about myself and the world in which we all exist. From there, I hope, my own thoughts will ripple out and in so doing constitute at least part of my reason for existing. Thanks again for sharing this.
Thank you for this Amazing documentary.
