To many people would love to immigrate to America.. but in the same time they hate Americ's foreign policies... so they say we hate America (Death to America)... but actually they love American peoples and they want to live just like them in freedom and prosperity..
OK, I know all he has been talking about. For the past 25+ years I have studied, lived and worked in 5 cultures. My observations and experiences are very much the same! But I haven't written a book about it, yet. We, those who care about our planet, its diversity in people, animal- and plant-life, must get off our asses, and stand up to the crazy politics and even more crazy economics, otherwise we will start feeling the effects of our doing in way we will not survive.

Corporations should not have the same rights as a physical person because they are not, corporations should be illegal or have limited power. Lobbyists should be abolished since their scope is the same as the scope of mafia: buying favors! Extortions etc. The personal account of a legislator should be monitored closely, no participation in stocks and bonds while in office. The eligibility to a government position should be for a max of two terms.
@56:12 - Population v. Distribution? If population is a distribution issue where currently 5% = 30% and 95% = 70%, then simply reducing the 5% to 5%, would add 25% back to the other 70% giving 95% = 95%. Or in other words, today's population is consuming 100% of the resources so the population limit of Earth is the current population of 7.7 Billion! Problem with this calculation is in the definition of "resources" and the assumption current consumption is using the maximum amount of resources instead of what they really are "available" resources which varies based on production. What is the limit of available resources? So the real question more importantly as outlined in Silent Spring: what is the limit of pollution and degradation the ecosystem of this Planet can stand? Obviously, when the world's largest living organism, the Great Barrier Reef, dies before our very eyes as it just did, we've already pasted that limit! That was the "Canary" in this coal mine we call Earth whose warning sign unfortunately went all but ignored. The Dead Zones have only been expanding around the world since Industrialization with the exponential increase in population and never-ending destruction of the Environment caused by ever increasing human activity across the Planet. Monitoring and controlling the negative and detrimental effects humans have on the natural world should be the most urgent and immediate goal if we are to turn this sinking ship into a "Life Economy". Unfortunately, most of the World is too busy living in the their Virtual realities! To Albert Schweitzer who said “Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.” library.uniteddiversity.coop/More_Books_and_Reports/Silent_Spring-Rachel_Carson-1962.pdf
I am starting to wonder about this guys story. He goes from shaman's apprentice to economic hitman to activist. It seems pretty hard to believe a man saved by a shaman would become an economic hitman and than an activist.
Conscious purchasing. I don't buy faster-poo-food or "soft?" drinks or eat candy bars or refined sugars. I read labels, but my general rule is not to eat anything that has a label on it in the first place. Plants grown organically don't and shouldn't have labels and therefore, they also shouldn't have any "added" ingredients, i.e. also meaning genetically modified. Why would anyone in their right mind genetically modify any living organism, for what purpose, to what end? I certainly don't want to find out. If you own a cell phone, then ALWAYS keep it as far away from your body, especially your head where your brain is located, as you most certainly do not want to contract cancer from these mini-but-deadly microwave machines. The AMA and Big Pharma don't mind at all if you tape that cell phone to the side of your head, because it means long-term profits for them. Exercise regularly, meditate every single day at least twice a day, and more if possible. Live rurally if you can. Do your best to stay away from large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles where the air has no quality. Do regular rain dances. Don't forget to put the Bear Spirit to sleep in the fall and wake it up in the spring with another dance. Talk to your cousin the coyote and your friend the rabbit and sing with your brothers and sisters of the wolf pack. Give thanks to the rattlesnake for warning you to stay away and do so, for good reason. Pray to the four directions of Mother Earth and thank her for taking care of you and your family, your tribe, your clan, and this world.

Yet you need an American company called youtube to vent your frustrations against the US government. So pathetic.

for some reason watching this reminds me of the scene within Infinite Jest between Steeply and Marathe re: peas soup...
He gave a # for the 1%. How about a list of names so the average citizen can direct their ire in the CORRECT directions

wasnt he hitman before the shaman?
@@jaerockchalk3216 Yes, he got into activism and maybe you could say saved by a shaman after his time as an 'Economic Hitman'.
Brilliant !

No think what led up to the coup in ukraine around 2014 and what's going on now
B.S. there is not a population problem. There has been a population problem for more than ten thousand years, since advent of agriculture.
