    Attenborough is an absolute living legend. The man is 92, and yet he's more sharp, lucid and coherent than the average person I meet. He's truly had a wild ride, living through WW2, seeing the world evolve from no TV to the age of social media and building such an extraordinary career. Clearly an individual in the upper echelon, and we've all been fortunate to have him in our life in some capacity.

    As a latin american, i saw a lot of nature documentaries with his voice... his accent... his wisdom... made me search for his name. Now i know who he is. Now I just want to see every corner of the world through his words. To look at him at his age, makes me think that i just want to keep hearing from David, as much as i can, as much as he lives, the wonders of nature.

    David Attenborough & Jacque Fresco are the only two genuine scientists I know of. They're not patriotic, religious, political or opinionated. They're dedication to the truth as a means of identifying & understanding reality is unsurpassed. And I have complete respect for them in risking their reputation in their 90's by challenging the way we live on this planet. We should be backing them up.
