    Thank you for this video! If only only the millions in the US and other "economically advanced" countries would see and understand this information instead of the corporate funded nonsense constantly telling us the continued destruction of life is necessary for our own well-being in the name of "growth." Growth for the sake of growth is the philosophy of the cancer cell.

    Regarding Vandana,let me tell you that she has stopped privatisation of water in INDIA with help of people and NGOs.Also she has got Coca Cola factory out from a South Indian village which was lowering the water table.She is propagating chemical free farming in many villages in India and much more..Just search about her work in organic farming in Dehradun in India and its success.Thanks.

    "(The illusion of) growth today is mining our future", Vandana Shiva. I think, the illusion of growth, the blind belief that total economic production can be measured with money flow, is maintained by systemic ecological and anthropological ignorance which is so prevalent in the modern industrial (corporate friendly) education.

    Epistemology is the way of knowing truth. western epistemological mode is to COUNT & MEASURE. She covered that in the discussion of what constitutes growth vs what supports life. So the way u need to ascribe value to what she says is something she demonstrated is used against the sustenance of life (defining what has value based on #s). That said, even in western thought, there's QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA. She has given us a qualitative presentation, of very high quality.

    No doubt that Vandana engages herself very much and has the best intention. If more people like her would exist, the world would look differently! - My comment was not meant to be critical in any way...

    When other animal species strain the carrying capacity of their habitat, few have trouble calling them overpopulated. But when people do the SAME thing on a much larger scale, the excuses for continuing it never end. People are so obsessed with chasing money that they've forgotten what makes life itself possible and gives it enduring quality.
    Money itself is not a resource, just an agent of human commerce, but growth addicts give money far more respect than its natural underpinnings.

      @elbebirthe 3 роки тому +1

      It depends on where you are located. Local seeds will probably suit your environmental surcumstances best. Try and search for organic heirloom seeds, possibly in an organic supermarket, if available. Also there might be cirles for swapping seeds, probably online due to the pandemic. Best wishes for you and your plants!

    You are right: Humanity is sick and only can heal and change when we start to heal ourselves each of us individually. This can only happen when we go into a transformational process, that includes our *whole being*. For this one needs to be ready and ask questions out of this critical urge. Ready to go beyond oneself and not just to be confirmed in one's established selfimage, not even when this is positive. What the seeker needs is clear information, avoiding tricks and scams on the way! BeiYin

    Ahhh I see what problem you are facing Sir... Some expect lectures to be like a spoon-feeding session; but the lecture above is all about making you THINK of your actions and role in society and the global economy, and she presents a very logical though process. I hope you can replay it several times to see the beautiful in it as I have to admire the intelligence, the wisdom.. :)

    Hey there... would it make more sense if she was tapping her head as she was programing herself, and perhaps other people listening, to at least start to think positively, focus of what they want to create. Perhaps the positive thinking/acting could help people in their individual healing and happiness which might overflow eventually to bigger things. But help heal our selfs first ? We've all been ill at some point, havn't we.

    how did his comments get to the top of the page? are there really that many people who can't digest what' she's saying? I've heard her speak so much, maybe this lecture is less organized than others I've heard. sounds like she had to cram a lot into 27 minutes. Everything isn't for everyone. and the reason the world is the way it is, is because there are more 'mikenothings,' than there are Vandana Shivas.

  • @FalconBlancoSpain
    @FalconBlancoSpain 12 років тому

    It is good and necessary to point out the tricks and manipulation that is going on in our society, but wouldn't be essential to give a hint to a creative solution? So that each of us can do something effectively for a change? Vandana, when will you so this step and tell people what they can do in their personal life, their behaviour and their attitude, so that this world can transform to a more real and true state of being? We are all trapped in this established fake reality. So what's the way?

    I'd like to know who the 15 idiots are who think your comment has any substance. Rather than present a logical argument of your own, all you do is negate everything Shiva says. Just because you're too limited to understand her, that doesn't make her "emotional". Normally I don't engage trolls but since people seem to agree with you, it bears saying. You need to educate yourself.

    Unless we become Breathatarians, we are going to need food to do any of that. Everyone isn't supposed to be doing the same thing. This is what she's supposed to be doing. And She's put herself out there and gave up a lucrative career as a physicist to do it.
