How to adjust i

Why does our gym not have one of these? Urgh

man made global warming is bs. we are coming out of an ice age. of course the world is warming. man can do nothing to prevent this,

Sir Tim, amazing discussion. But the concept of Genetic load put forward by JBS was regretful.

no peaceful movement ever caused meaningful change

A Most Enlightening Interview. Samanth and Sir Tim - Thank You! J B S Haldane was clearly startlingly brilliant, courageous - and a remarkably independent thinker. His work is so important; and has yet to receive its proper recognition... Together, you brought Haldane to life. Do hope a film will be made from the biography. For surely, Haldane's significance needs to be more widely understood.

Going vegan is the easiest most radical personal decision having the most impactful outcome.

I wanted to listen to this but I can barely hear it

The usual Jacobin imbecilities.

Chomsky said all that and more years ago, but it's still true.

It's a shame the volume is so poor on this recording, it's an interesting talk .

Who made this volume so small and nobody can hear it.

Excellent talk!

he makes a great point about Debt and how getting into the debt black hole makes you 'Obey'. My advice to anyone - to sensitize yourself - by having a strong spiritual practice of some kind, and being, even if only online - supported by others of like mind. Be sensitive to the vibrations of people you meet. Even in a corporate environment, there are various layers. Find like minded people who also have a practice & support each other. Help others. Service to humanity in any situation you'll find yourself in. This way, when the environment no longer supports you, you will easily be lifted out of it (maybe fired at what seems the worst possible time!!!). Stay close to your inner guides.

Brilliant talks by inspiring women.

Very interesting lecture, thanks for sharing this. 👍

Have you tried arguing for a prosperous sustainable future based on magma energy; the limitless heat energy of the molten interior of the earth? NASA demonstrated the technology to harness energy directly from magma from 1975-1982. I thought we'd have it by now; endless amounts of base load clean energy to meet all our energy demands carbon free, plus desalinate, irrigate, recycle all waste and even capture carbon from the air. According to NASA there's massively more energy than sufficient - tens of thousands of times global energy demand. Have you tried arguing for application of that technology, rather than suggesting people engage in revolution - make a business case that climate change deniers can get on board with? Maybe you can convince the great and the good that it's in their interests - because in fact a far more prosperous, and profitable sustainable future is possible based on magma energy. Have you even tried making the case for a better future, before terrorising people and encouraging revolution, you malicious communist ignoramus?

I don’t agree with don’t act alone. Everyone has individual “power in the purse” to buy plant based food and avoid meet and dairy, as the AAI along with global crops grown to feed the animals, is the largest driver of climate change ; larger than all of transportation put together including all air travel. I’m not sure why George missed this elephant in the room aNd decided not to even mention it.

This was outstanding, I cannot understand why his voice is not louder.

The word Palestine is not centuries old. This video is just racist fake news.

We are not going to fight back in significant enough numbers, until it's too late. It's game over!

"Survival" requires self-correction. Know your Self or you have already been eliminated.

In Israel LBGTQ has equal rights in Palestinian society they suffer violence and threats

I guess the Ottoman Empire was not a colonial project?

What an amazing commuicator!

By now, George writes (in his latest column know to me): „I feel clearer about what effective political action looks like than I have ever done. But a major question remains. Given that we have left it so late, can we reach the social tipping point before we hit the environmental tipping point?“ …

Okay, so by this logic, people have a right to engage in civil disobedience against the "green rules" he wants imposed on everyone, then? But of ocurse not. Rules he agrees with are the ones that everyone without exception must obey.

... as a German Biologist - it is the Amount, capacity, talent of Self Reliance - Emerson. Can you live with the Essentials all by yourself - ideally not even with any money. And create something to trade. This was the stability of Societies 200 Years ago until rapid engineering made us City Work Slaves in horrible Misery. Now the Ghettoes with unstoppable Crime, drugs and slow diseases. We breed our own destruction... and the Inuit and Touareg have nothing to share with us...

how ironic, he doesnt get the amount of carbon it takes to make a car czcams.com/video/KFlhUkudhzk/video.html

low resolution sound does not change the quality of what is being said. Charlie Parker gigs was recorded often with a single mic, he was pretty groovy too

And yours wearing jeans will demonstrating this!

Wolfson sounds like a good place to be. Thanks for the intro!

I got news for old George. We are already way beyond the carrying capacity of the earth.

Blm=the democrats "brown shirts"

I was there in the 1980's and it was and is a great place

George, I don't think I'm lying when I say, I have read just about everything you have ever written in the Guardian and that I've soaked up most of your lectures on CZcams tube. I remember many years ago one of your first forays into the televised news and your being clearly tested by the experience. I have seen you rise to that challenge and am always keen to listen, hoping to find and adopt some new way to try to articulate and talk about this predicament, because it fills me with dread. You have at 35 minutes already surpassed yourself. Keep on keeping on because it helps me keep on harping on.

Nice lump.

Political government not represent God

How if I decide to disobey YOU?

Why would you recommend BBC to air this? Nobody watches BBC except brain dead people.

The US had learned from WWI that because it took over a year to start major productions of arms in 1917, it knew that it needed tp plan ahead before the Japanese attacked. There was a plan to just what to do to change the factories from making car to making planes. My second point is that we need to ration things so that money no longer matters for lifestyles. We can have a 3 tier system the workers get X amount, the middle class gets 2X amount, and the rich get just 3X. In my opinion we can't change prices enough to stop the rich from over consuming without killing all the workers because they don't have enough income to eat 500 calories a day.

You don't mention Citizens' Assemblies George, which are potentially the best way to educate a community. All the facts they get told are transparent and available, both about the problems and the possible solutions. As long as the question being posed is deep enough!! CAs are a loving gift to both citizens and politicians who are not in a majority but have been elected to represent a particular community. If one or two within the party which happens to be in power vote against the party, with their consciences, the CA can have a great effect.

Our government doesn't understand complex systems. They clearly didn't understand the complex system of 'Just in time' which had been controlling our economy for over 50 years until brexit, that's gone to hell in a handcart, how on earth are their profit crazed minds going to get their heads around complex climate systems interacting like the cogs of an engine. It's no good talking to the masses, it's the corporations who run the world and seem determined to destroy it. The politicians are bought off by the corporations.

A great talk but with a fundamental flaw, possibly used to make his point clearer; as he states early on, the brain is a complex system too, but then he goes on to simplify it- to suit his argument- that humans choose obedience over survival. The reasons for obedience are far more complex than this and an important area to discuss here. Of course time constraints didn’t allow that

Marvellous talk from every points of view. The reading through the eyes of complex systems, the explanation of systemic forces at play, the behavioural science of human's attitude towards what I would call social conformity rather than obedience. Neuroscience seems to highlight that is really a fear of exclusion from society that drives our inability to challenge the status quo. Hence, the divide-et-impera tactics of those who are interested in the perpetration of the status quo. It makes that question from the audience even more important: it would be great if George could help with a follow-up on which movement he sees as more in need of joiners.

Wonderful and inspiring talk. Thanks

I don’t think the systems we rely on are too complex to understand at all. Plenty of people understand the global financial system and have co-opted it for their own ends.

is he saying don't get jabbed, import your own Ivermectin, etc?

All was logical and easy to follow. However capitalism has no need for the 3bn without money. Only driving climate crisis and chaos to evidence to those rich countries, individuals able to buy more, to adopt in a world essential to survive. Vertical farming, home upgrades and energy prices to allow billionaires and governments all the power and control to demand more from the masses to entertain the few. Get off the grid, off media and consumption. Vegan, repair and reuse. Live long and healthy, happy without being obedient. Without much need for stuff, able to focus on supporting others and nature. Its simple, a simple life, simply give more than take x
