Brilliant explanation. Thank you
"With great dominance comes great responsibility" Uncle Ben at his Ted Talk
Wonderfuly explained with simple examples!
Great talk! Very educative and eye-opening
Thank You Cillian, "great dominance comes great responsibility" and circular economy is possible.

The key is changing the mindset of this throwaway culture.

We need a Circular Economy..
In all fields of industry..
Exactly
Thank you very much
Great sir
GREAT VID LADS
Anyone here because of online class?
jep haha
I here
Yah mate
I hope I can set up a mobile business using those ideas when I finish university
How is it going?
@@kspoor8908 She probably died lol.
@@testing119 why think so?
@@gm_bison101 She hasn't responded to anyone, For 2 years. It might not be as serious as death, But she ain't responding.

I suppose in order to apply this model, firstly we need to shift people's ideas about the meaning of happiness and success. These days people are under severe media influences and assume they will be truly happy if only they own more.
I completely agree, consumer culture and invasive advertising (algorithms) has a such a grasp over the mindsets of people and what it means to be happy.
Don't you have to be under severe media influence to strife for circular economy?
Within a circular economy regular people will own nothing and the state and Corporations will own everything and have strict control over our lifes
I have to watch this video for University and I raise awareness of the system in which we are. It's simply to be astonished looking for new technologies but as human responsible being we must have to save this planet. Taking conscience of what we provoque we must proceed now, thinking in this circular perspective!
I love circular Economy, I am from Vietnam
Our Educational systems still mostly relate to the directives & functionalia of our previous industrial century of work & understanding..
Easy to say from someone who benefited from it. And now probably has a WFO office job that involves mostly Zoom meetings and spreed sheet work. If you work all day taping at a keyboard I can see why you would have this opinion. The real world is so far removed from reality. The world can start to feel digital. And that can start to seem hyper real. But the reality is that it's just a mass illusion that can only be temporal. But Ultimately that feedback loop will have to pay for itself.
With great dominance comes great responsibility 3:26 so true
I loved the idea of circular economy, but I am not sure about the possibility of its happening in the near future. I believe we will ultimately choose this model because we will end up having no other choices. However, is it probable to apply this model before we become miserable?
Imagine you are snagged up and moved to a town. They give you your uniform that you will have to rent from them. They have a store that they own where you rent what you need and receive rations. They move you into an apartment that is most probably communal that you rent from them. They give you a job and you do that job or they will shut your chip off and arrest you. You can't afford to have anything other than the clothes you have and you have electronics abound in your private quarters for the sake of protecting the company's assets and for 'your protection'. You can only have children if the company says you can and will be separated from the parents at birth (see china). You reach the age where you can't be as productive and you are put out to the pastures.
It's actually being used in a lot of industrial sectors, specially in agro-industry waste, e.g. biomass from bananas or sugar cane! We're already in a good direction
Most industries that can recycle already do. Yes, we can make things that easier to recycle, but he fails to mention why plastics end up in the ocean; it’s because they aren’t easily recycled into a useful item. There is NO reason to own nothing other than to be controlled. This idea has been tried before and failed.
More plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050* . . . Really good speaker skill. Calming. Inspiring.
I had a minor heart attack when he said 2020 and I was looking exactly for a comment that rectified it, thank you for posting this :D
Argentina where i live, is an extremely Dark country, lisenig something extremely good from Europe, it makes me happy.
I hope we can have a better Argentina someday.
Random is not a justification of industrial chaos within formal systemlogics..

“You’ll own nothing, but you’ll be happy…. Trust us.”
Lovely
When we legitimized consumption and capitalism that produces solely to sell, how do you withdraw from this situation that requires parasitism?
I wonder if we were forced to start over due to an EMP, would we end up differently?
I suggest No. Civilizations, new or starting over, are at their best and brightest when emerging. We are then, as you suggest, merely 'using' the fields for crops instead of 'owning.'
The problem with recycling is that it is extremely difficult to extract what is desired from the greater amount of waste. Its not that reusing hasn't been tried. My mom would lug the coke bottle back to the store to save on the bottle charge but it didn't stop aluminum can from taking over the market, less room, weight, storage. Nothing is new here except the audience is younger.
Is he the real Dictation voice of Stephen Hawkins? Sounds just like it.
Circular economy / cradle-to-cradle / design for the environment / extended producer responsibility
I do hope everyone is doing well, and God bless! :)
Unless we evolve our systems data information mindset & liberate our sense of harmonious handling & interaction. Fear & strictness are forcing our systems to compress into friction & dissolve..
Because we handle eachother without relating enough to eachothers qualities.. and fail in educating our common interests in working together.. culture must be unique.. personal culture is worth writing to paper.. yet social abilities are neglected at schooling
So circular partly means partly recycle and partly rent?
Is this what it means when you hear people say "by 2030, you'll own nothing and be happy"? ....
Also....Does this also mean we will apply this same logic to our property? You don't own but lease?
Yes, same applies to properties.
@@GeorgeK2812 I'm not sure that will make me very happy then.
The oligarchs will own everything, but they’ll lease it to you.
And the useful idiots will eat it up
Yes, that is what a circular economy means.
The State/Corporation will own everything and regular people will own nothing.
You can't buy a washing Machine for 400 Dollars and use it as long as it holds up.
You can however lease it for 5 years and 20 Dollars per month, meaning you will give the Corporation like 3 times as much Money, even more in the long Run. It's huge Business for the Corporations.
And since you will have to sign terms of services for everything, Gouvernements and Corporations will have a ridiculous ammount of Control over our Lifes.
Our current state of evolution causes us lack of self directive awareness.. wich harms our ability to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Either biologically so or it is our educative systems wich are not up to date to the relative signifficance of current variables & measuratives we in present times record & review..
You don't need to lease a phone, you just send it back to them for a refund when it's old. Getting some money for the parts it holds.
Leasing cars makes sense because you can create a sort of taxi system of self driving cars then a car isn't sat in a car park for hours and so on. So creating a system of people not needing to own cars makes sense. Also you would have schools and business having different finishing times for some students over others, as in say they have a 20 minute break extra in the day to then length out the day a little so that everyone doesn't finish at the same time so that you don't need more cars, but cars take people home then come back. So you think about the structure of society to create less traffic jams, and less cars needed.
Not because we don't want to..
We are roughened up into indifferance..
Our ways are reason for concern..
Yet I have no plausible opinion on the matter myself..
A VINTAGE object is not synonymous with used or recycled.
Resources fail to fullfill the needs because of the primitive ways in wich we handle our understanding.. either in the purpose & function of the self & the mechanica & interactive functionality within systems we habit & navigate..
Normalisation reduces pollution effectively..
Our human nature cannot be compressed beyond the inner limits of self retraction.. systemlogic must not & absolutely never become harmfull in any sense of way..
Reflect on your own ways..
There is nothing that I can teach you..
Yet resources can be handled efficiently via high tech research..
Technology wich must be liberated from restrictive ownership by earth management law frameworks of system scripted to upgrade industry uniformally & synchroniously..
HighTech is wasted on the formal system of currency..
I was just wondering how a big tech company like Samsung is manufacturing their products for a short lifetime, like 3 years. My cell A51 Samsung 2020 is not working properly, and it is new for good protection and use. I am thinking to change it because it is not working anymore. Damn.
The problem is people, mindset and understanding why we need to change and to rethink what it is we are here for. This has to be driven by education, Governments and the huge Corporates to change. OK, it starts with us as individuals, but the biggest shift will be with the big boys, as they are the biggest influencers. We are pumped full of egotistical adverts and greed, which has to change to be more understanding and working together.
Circular Economy is enslavement. Corporations and Governements owning everything and regular people owning nothing and constantely being subject to their terms of service, paying absurd ammounts of money to Corporations for the most basic Things.
It's basically people voluntarily subjugating themselves to what they hope will be a benevolent authoritatianism because they believe the world will end If they don't
Anyone here because of seniors assignment 😂 Good information
this is also industrialisation, in a narrative that transitions from sufficiency, to drive militarisation for imperialism. this is colonialism
humanitarian aid has generated psychosocial support, applied in the workplace and disadvantaged commnuties as an emerging sector. traditionalism is a antithesis that recovers the household as site of production; parents as carer educators, ecologies as living spaces with living food systems, and community gathering places as site of governance
circular systems within the home can support household manufacture; mobilising a home based workforce through mid level civic infrastructure as cultural centres for local sharing economies within walkable communties; universal basic services, psychosocial support and community governance.
repairable design can stimulate community level retrade os cross platform compatible components; securing local supply for household fabrication and assembly of appliances. this is individual identification as makers, not consumers
identifying risk and associated economy cost, provides a fund through disincentivisation to incentivise successive innovation; facilitating infinite economic growth within the metric of ingenuity; novelty and newness. removing the limits of risk channels the drive of natural expectations; social connectedness, competence in sufficiency, and leadership opportunities.
What the double speak is this
2020, still more fish in the ocean than plastic bottles. But we do have a pandemic outbreak though ....
He meant 2050*
A process which might ironically lead to someone watching this, yes.... that's what happened!
Don’t understand why he insists so much in the benefits of changing ownership structures, and „renting services“. OK, I lease the phone from a company. Give it back after two years. Get a new one. Company tries to recycle spare parts of old phone. So what? Today I buy the phone, throw it away after two years, and it gets recycled somewhere in Africa. Same outcome.
IMO the problem is not ownership, the problem is consumer behaviour. And quality issues. Just 10-year mandatory warranty on any type of product would have an immediate impact on quality, price, value, lifetime, and total use of resources to satisfy the need of doing calls or having fun with your phone. I don’t see that effect in the leasing world.
I think the issue isn’t with the concept but the example used of a sharing economy concept... phones weren’t the best example a good example is laundry services in a community
Instead of having each home buy a washing machine that is set to stop working after a limited amount of tries we can have a laundry point with a set of machines servicing a group of people... industrial machines usually have a longer life span so you reduce excessive waste production of that product...
This. Planned obsolecence is so widespread that I'd argue companies are the first that have to change. Consumers would be happy if they didn't have to haul in and out of their houses appliances every two years. But manufacturers make things so that they don't last.
Also, leasing isn't such a good idea because in many cases people tend to vandalize shared buildings and services.
9:56 camera: wanna see his belly.
Edit who included this: yeah, sure why not.
How is localised manufacturing a good thing if it is not economically viable? If you produce a phone in the UK and the same phone in Asia, it will be much cheaper to produce and ship it in bulk from Asia to the UK. Will this concept of localised manufacturing work in the free market? I am not sure if it is that straight forward of bringing manufacturing back to the so-called developed world?
And what happens if the services are so cheap that people start using more of it, like replacing smartphones too often? Wouldnt this result in an increase in the demand for more new smartphones, which will, in turn, result in increased extraction of raw materials to produce those smartphones?

LOL... My School
Meanwhile: China is building 184 coal plants and eating your "donut" economy.
Yeah, so circular economy means, that the State and Corporations will own everything and regular people will own nothing.
And instead of buying things for a finite ammount of money and actually owning them, we will have to pay Corporations indefinately every month and have to sign terms of service agreements for every little thing.
So we will pay the Corporations multiple times over, while they will provide us with run down, barely functioning Hardware ,while they can put the majority of ownership responsibilities on the consumers with their TOS.
And of course they will have countless possibilities to force behaviours on us.
It will open the gates forva new horrible age of authoritarianism
You will own nothing and be happy 😃.
This guy Obviously has never heard of the nightmare 300 Dollars a month fax machine. That went out of date 12 years ago. And I love the way he starts by Romanticising the past when we had less resources as if it was a good thing. This is Nothing more than corporate propaganda. Of the worst kind.
WHOS TED AND WHY DOES HE TALK SO MUCH
idk
I don't like the idea of running into hard times and not being able to afford the tools I need because I don't own them. I rather own my things. And when I run into hard times No one takes them away from. Me. What your Suggesting sounds terrible.
