      I don´t remember much because it was posted some years ago, but my best guess is that it could be linked to this one: ruclips.net/video/Omyuc6xsuoQ/видео.html

      I loved him too. His book "Sources", an anthology of articles by various writers, was one of my earliest inspirations that helped guide my quest for personal and professional fulfillment. Many of those articles, which led me to seek many more like them, reaffirmed how much the natural world and protecting it from the indifferent and single minded behaviors of most people was always essential to me. But I think if Theo Roszak walked this earth today he'd be as horrified and as full of despair as I am, not only by how overpopulated and paved over so much of it is, but that it will continue to be, precisely because he was so wrong about what even late 20th century humans were obviously willing or even able to think and feel, even as they drive climate change to ever more costly, uncontrollable and deadlier levels. And for Roszak to even dream of turning to societal institutions like the mainstream press and culture, academia and government to enlighten and inspire people to rethink their behaviors-all of which are so thoroughly co-opted, financed and interlocked by the most powerful and sophisticated think tanks representing the global corporate elite-would be laughable if it wasn't all so hopeless. Looking back, to me, it's as if humanity had between 1970 and 1990 to save this earth that gave it life, sustenance, beauty and joy but reasoned that it had better things to invest in and so threw it away. But would any of this surprise the likes of George Orwell or Gore Vidal? www.populationbalance.org/ www.growthbusters.org/population-growth/
