    I wish I could store all your knowledge inside my head. Help change the world for the better of all humanity and save as many beautiful animals on this planet and all the amazon, all the indigenous, so earth remains!
    It truly is beautiful and great, sadly evil is so predominant and rife upon it.
    Peace love and light, may all the evil, greedy demonic humans, melt into darkness, blessed be.

    Heads up: Prof. Chomsky is a wise and aged man. Due to that, his voice is 'slightly' low. Before putting the video online aka CZcams, it is wisely advised to level up the sounds of all persons/Protagonists (in this case: Shabhan and NOAM) how are involved. That way no one has to put the volume up and down constantly …;-))

    Due to many factors like: Pronunciation, mumbling, fast-talk, Audio/Sound etc. -» a SOLID, manually added TRANSCRIPTION/SUBTITLE would even give this great Video more depth.

    • @schmetterling4477

      The cheapest alternative is most likely the one that was produced with the least amount of energy. It's kind of pointless to buy an American product that was made in a "green factory" by people who have ten times the environmental footprint of the average Chinese worker.

    When Chomsky mentions (around 35:00) this period of working class intellectual culture, he finds a parallel in British Society -- detailed beautifully in a book he has mentioned a few times, called "The Intellectual Life of The British Working Class" by Jonathan Rose.
    The closest thing I've seen to People's History of Autodidactism that there is, a hearty read.

    How do you restructure mounting health care due to increased societal ills due to lifestyle, so that the NHS can continue to be funded (I am in favour of doing so) - but must ask where is the ceiling on that? Don't we need a restructure of society (Food market etc) to avoid ills, that mean we can afford to fund it? All interlinked? How do we keep affording it?

    the difference with the 30s, and in Europe it is exactly the same in this, is that in the 30s there was the USSR, and lots of Communist Parties in the world that promised a revolution like the Bolsheviks, which had happened, and that scared to millionaires. In the USA the New Deal was a movement to avoid a revolution like the one in Russia or the fascist alternative (the American elites financed Hitler) In Europe fascism triumphed, but after World War II, to silence the siren songs of the USSR (Stalin won World War II against Hitler) social democracy was imposed (until the 90s, just when the USSR fell) Today the threat of fascism returns, but we do not have a red terror as a counterpoint. We need red terror.

    In one context, Chomsky denounces subsidy. In another context, it's ok. It's necessary.
    Rather than subsidize oil workers' transition to alternative employment, charge high fees to extract fossil fuels. Charge high fees to extract other natural resources. Charge fees to put pollution. Industries that pollute the most and deplete resources will shrink or die. Industries that meet human needs while causing little or no harm to the environment will grow.
    Government programs that try to manage the transition tend to steer people in the directions that the program designers have decided are the better paths forward. If instead, people manage their own selves, they will base their decisions on their own preferences and idiosyncrasies that pertain to their own personal and social context.
    If proceeds from fees charged to industries are shared to all people equally, poverty would be ended. The economic stress associated with the transition to a different kind of economic system is vastly reduced if all people have some substantial income separate from work income. (The value of natural wealth has been estimated at more than $45 per day for every person on Earth.)
    I've never heard someone who is lamenting the movement of a factory, with reference to how much of a hardship it would be for a community, try to explain why the mirroring benefit to the community that gains the new factory should be discounted. Why should people in northern Mexico not have the benefit of a developing economy that the new investment represents?
    I get the impression that an ideological stance against free markets is impeding perception, so that a fee charged proportional to harmful impact on the environment, with fee proceeds shared to all people, just never comes to mind.
    A policy that would promote sustainability and end poverty seems something we should be discussing.

    This is wonderful. A very erudite and concise introduction by the presenter. So much to do, so little time. The urgency called for action falls on deaf ears to the Australian political leadership, so deep in the pockets of fossil energy interest. It is profoundly shameful and deeply embarrassing to have such internationally disgraceful representation, when this nation could lead the world as an exemplar of stewardship in renewable energy transition away from fossil fuels, with its incredible wind, wave, geothermal and solar resources and technical ability and financial depth to move more rapidly than most other areas of the world, setting new benchmarks in transitioning. Instead, we are landed with dinosaurs leading us to failure - ugh!

    We can only do this if we work together,thats probably the biggest challenge, in a time of extreme positions and general distrust, where people dig in their heels rather than try to compromise, i just feel slightly disillusioned in that area, education is important too, i think a lot of the distrust and fear comes from pople not really having a clue what is going on. Look how easy Trump has convinced people that he is working for them, its because they dont have a clue what is really going on outside of their tiny little world.
