Great video. Thanks.
One of the best explanations of objectivity I've heard!
Climate change has thrown the question of WHY we've ended up here as a species. 350 ppm was a safe climate and now we're speeding past 420 ppm C02. It all seems like a huge failure of imagination and objectivity. Yes we are in collapse. Thank you for recommending, That Hideous Strength and for your meaningful insights. The Abolition of Man is more relevant than ever.
Lewis's description of The Abolition of Man always reminds me of The Borg in Star Trek. The Borg have no culture, no humanity, just the collective.
