About 1.5 years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life, to enroll in the PDC course at Yestermorrow with Andrew and others. It has positively changed my life and continues to do so. Inspiring and highly informational speeches and lectures like this one were being tossed out several times per day. Thanks for uploading to help the cause and to widen my perspective.
I'll begin to incorporate this presentation in my offerings of permaculture courses and trainings. Great and necessary information/reminder/connection. Thank you Andrew Faust, and all who put this together. gracias.
Thank you so much for sharing this compelling and comprehensive narrative with that level of honest passion and insight. I listened to it a few times and I love the way you combine scientific theory and Gaia spirituality. We are creating a permaculture food forest in a small vegan community where I life - and your outlook on the bigger picture is inspirational on so many levels - and it help us contextualise our effort as beneficial not only to us, but the entire meta-organism earth. On a side note: If you can find the time at some point, I think it would be a terrific addition to the video, if you could provide (some of) your sources in the description below.
Am doing volunteering this year on sustainable agriculture/organic farms learning cob buildings and earthbag structures as well. I loved this. I am spiritual and believe we are one but I like science backing up what I believe in, I do not agree with just believing thing blindly. Facts and reliable sources are necessary. Some may get turned off by the touchy feely- unfortunately but we do have to change our ways and habits and not both of us have to survive. Earth/life will continue. Even if we are not around. Shared and posted and spread the word.
Thank you Shakti, Yes we need to combine the heart, intuitive ways of knowing and ground ourselves internally in order to value and blossom in the external world of the analytical empirical mind reciprocity and dialogue emerge from cultivating the within and the without with equal vigor!
Very good thoughts here, and it does sound like a lot of our problems are a lot less expensive to solve than we typically think. We tend to just be bull-headed as a culture and get stuck in 'what we've always done' for better or worse. Hopefully dollars, cents, health, and climate - something that I think you're ideas address quite well together - will get the attention that they deserve.
I loved this video. I love the walk through life as we know if - from the beginning to present times. I really like the way you speak Andrew - it's easy enough for me to follow and you manage to put everything into context for me. It has definitely left me feeling a little bit sad though. Why are we not thinking? Anyway - it has also definitely inspired me to make a start. So we're going to pool resources in our little part of the world - Port Elizabeth, South Africa - and get on with it.
I was talking with my friends about not being able to evolve because of technological stuff. After starting meditation, these kinds of stuff makes me feel comfort. Maybe.
Cooked foods were important to us evolving to who we are. However, that does not preclude raw foods now. After all, we do have science, engineering, best practices, diversity of foods, food processors, juicers, etc.
I thought that green roofs like this, required the use of synthetic fertilizers that break down into inorganic arsenic? If not, could you share resources or case studies where these living systems on and in buildings that do not require toxic synthetic fertilizers? Much appreciated.
This video makes a lot of claims that seem pretty out there to not have sources listed: heart magnetic field in which hearts sync up with each other and homo erectus killing off neanderthals are the first two things that popped into my head. There has been documentation of some neaderthal and homo erectus breeding. Some good information in here, but this needs to be revamped and researched again while providing lists of sources.
thinks!!!!! all the people that that are in power are inbred so they are not looking at the big picture and just look at the picture they want to see its them the people in power not the people that provide all of what they want
Very much agreed Spencer. Would be very appreciative if someone could provide links or more information to some of the studies Faust speaks about? For instance, the information on the EMF of human hearts and the White House study Faust mentions that states that 90% of cancers are directly related to environmental pollution... some names of the studies? Some dates even? I'd like to dig around on this a bit. An enjoyable talk no doubt, but I personally feel that there needs to be more official information in order to deem all the information 100% authentic.
if you grow vines and plants all over buildings they degrade the buildings rapidly, so i'm not sure if thats a good idea it would defy the purpose of building it in the first place? love everything else i've heard though great work!
hi, know your bein light hearted but I know if you place mdf with space between it and the building, then put the ivy / vines that works :) your gonna need it in the city if you want to breathe happy
Prokaryotic is a wrong term to define bacteria and archaea but they dont have a nucleus for the genome, as different from an eukaryotic cell. Sexual reproduction doesn't confer characterization of specie. Some plants and algae reproduce asexually too.
This video would greatly help arrogant, hallucinated, fantasizing and self-destructing race of humanity to achieve redemption, connect back with earth and survive in future through symbiosis.
permaculture should be part of a school and college curriculum, like Andrew says its time to start implementing the procedure and taking responsibility for the actions and damage that Humans do, i am of the view that no new technology should be allowed out until the damage potential has been assessed!!!
Great presentation. Once again, occasionally points out the insanity of so much that we accept in everyday life in our so called civilization. Imagine if 55 mil. people saw this instead of 55,000
I look at the painting at 53:40 and I can't help but think this man's fingers are getting second degree burns and his skin is falling off all because he couldn't bother to go get a torch. What can I say, artists aren't always thoughtful of such things in their rendering!
Mostly a great talk, but the derisive argument of "PV + high efficient German air-conditioners, rather than biological processes" (which then perversely is followed up by talk of high-speed rail) is pretty inconsistent and pretty idealistic.
Cut out the nonessential 50% of the content, recompile the rest, and this could be a far more exciting and convincing narrative. Right now it talks about everything under the sun and wanders all over the place.
Thank you so much you know I have compassion for starving one self in the name of your ethics but it just is not useful at the end of the day in my view.
Not bad but man many wrong facts. MANY. for exapme 80-85% of our energy is used by the brain??? who told you that, more like 20%... Anyways i like the video but this dude should get his facts rights, it discredits him.
+AnEchochet Yes! I Would like his explanation too. I have seven of Dr. Lovlock's books and, with an early definition of Gaia which Dr, Lovelock revised after harsh criticism by Prof. Dawkins, the Gaia Theory has been accepted by most geologists and biologists.
+Brooks Anderson The idea that living systems somehow conspire to create environmental homeostasis is clearly nonsense. What about when all that cyanobacteria started pumping out oxygen two or so billion years ago? That didn't end well for most life at the time.
You have misstated his position on Gaia. To quote from his book Gaia, a New Look at Life on Earth,. p. X, "occasionally, it is difficult, without excessive circumlocution, to avoid talking of Gaia as if she were known to be sentient. This is meant no more seriously than is the appellation 'she' when given to a ship by those who sail on her.. . ." Gaia, in Lovelock's own words is not sentient nor would "she,",, therefore, be capable of "planning." It would also be fair to note that in 2006 he was awarded the UK' Geological Society's Wollaston Medal which, rightfully so, was also awarded to Charles Darwin. I have seven of his books, dog-eared and marked up, It is recommended that you read a few so as not to misconstrue what he wrote.(old geologist)
+rstevewarmorycom The correct term now is the Gaia Theory. Dr. James Lovelock, the inventor of the microwave oven, and discover of the Earth mega-ecosystem Gaia, has received awards worldwide recognizing his discovery. I'm sure that you are aware that 99% of the Earth's atmosphere is biologically produced - as has been pointed out by Dr. Lovelock, Dr. Margulis, and Dr. Sagan. I have seven of Dr. Lovelock's books, and, except for an early incomplete, and rectified, definition of Gaia, his theory is accepted by most biologists. I do have the biological background to judge the matter.
Brooks Anderson I don't know what you deem "Gaia", but the hypothesis was that the ecosystem somehow has evolved and anticipates difficulties and "tries" to correct them, sort of a sentimental Mother Earth figure, thus Gaia, the Roman goddess of the earth. While some restorative phenomena have been seen,as you would expect in a relatively stable system for this long, they are quite fragile and easy tipped over. The rest has NOT been shown. Sure, life is responsible for terraforming this planet, but I don't think it was planned that way by anything. We simply evolved to use what's here. It's like the mudpuddle that thinks it is so wonderful that someone made a hole for it exactly its own shape.
I have seven of Dr. Lovelock's books, extremely dog-eared and marked up. He clearly states that he did not fully understand the nature of Gaia hen he first put forward his hypothesis. He also admitted that Prof. Dawkins was correct that there could be no "planning" by organisms. and, since he clearly stated that in his subsequent publications, he was surprised as anybody about the "New Age" label attached to his, theory. in 2006 he received the Wollaston Medal, the UK Geological Society's highest award for his work. In 2014 The UK Science Museum presented an exhibit about his life and work. As a degreed geologist (biology minor) with more than 50 years experience, I find his work anything but "New Age." Please do read some of his books so that you don't misrepresent what he wrote.
+rstevewarmorycom When we talk about Gaia let us not forget that humans are a part of it, and that our collective consciousness is the one of the Earth. There are plenty of good ideas in new-age still never proven by heavy-headed scientists, but it doesn't make them baloney.

Can I share your comments here?
Thank you!

Philosophically I have been leaning and developing toward this way of living and seeing. So much to learn.
good/colour eye sight is also useful to tell when fruit is ripe, as well as our soft sense of touch
I learnt so much from your video....cant thank your knowledge and wisdom enough. Many blessings

This video needs a lot more views.
Thanks for this clear thrown down. Awesome work. Fantastic overview. The world should hear this.
So Awesome!! Much love to you all for your hard work.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your very comprehensive perspective. I can listen to this over and over.
Thank you so much!
This is fucking gold.

I am so glad that it is something that you appreciate and will use as a teaching tool that is one of my intentions behind getting this out there.
I want to show this to everyone I know..... very comprehensive and important to understand for the future of our existence.
I was talking with my friends about not being able to evolve because of technological stuff. After starting meditation, these kinds of stuff makes me feel comfort. Maybe.
Amazingly well put, thanks from Midwest Permaculture!
Yes there is a bottom line, and the bottom line is respect for the environment, society and self. Thank you Andrew Faust
Cooked foods were important to us evolving to who we are. However, that does not preclude raw foods now. After all, we do have science, engineering, best practices, diversity of foods, food processors, juicers, etc.
Thanks, let's get it out there.Feel free to show to your permaculture class.

I learned so much. Thank you :)
i love this video! thank you so much for sharing! i have shared it as well!
Much appreciated!
Great Stuff, I reckon this should be shown by every educational system on "spaceship" earth :-)
"Peace Love and Light"
No captions available for this documentary
I Love you all so much. Let's do this!
We are!
***Wow:) thanks for sharing this wonderful video :)***
Andrew good work! What is the song that starts at about 2:20?
Brian eno an ending
if you grow vines and plants all over buildings they degrade the buildings rapidly, so i'm not sure if thats a good idea it would defy the purpose of building it in the first place? love everything else i've heard though great work!
hi, know your bein light hearted but I know if you place mdf with space between it and the building, then put the ivy / vines that works :) your gonna need it in the city if you want to breathe happy
It depends on the type of vine and the nature of the construction it is not difficult to do in a mutually beneficial way.
correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought bacteria were prokaryotic organisms...
That could be, I thought that bacteria were simpler then sexual production(eucaryotes)and could just replicate asexually.
Prokaryotic is a wrong term to define bacteria and archaea but they dont have a nucleus for the genome, as different from an eukaryotic cell. Sexual reproduction doesn't confer characterization of specie. Some plants and algae reproduce asexually too.
does anyone know where may I find thee 2 pictures around an after 32:40? awesome photos at least too say at that
Amazing!
Inspiring talk and video!
This video would greatly help arrogant, hallucinated, fantasizing and self-destructing race of humanity to achieve redemption, connect back with earth and survive in future through symbiosis.
an absolute blessing!
permaculture should be part of a school and college curriculum, like Andrew says its time to start implementing the procedure and taking responsibility for the actions and damage that Humans do, i am of the view that no new technology should be allowed out until the damage potential has been assessed!!!
I concur all tech should be prescreened to be ecologically sound socially equitable and well designed.
Enjoyed this thanks.
WHY IS THIS SO SMART
Stars of Lid!!!! Love that shit! Great Doc!
Video starts out playing That Finger On Your Temple Is The Barrel Of My Raygun.
i already held wisdom that predates the topics in this video, very visual though
Great presentation. Once again, occasionally points out the insanity of so much that we accept in everyday life in our so called civilization. Imagine if 55 mil. people saw this instead of 55,000
Can you help me get this to a broader audience, thanks!
thank you !!!
has this chap read 'left in the dark' by tony wright? - everyone should!
Return To The Brain Of Eden by Tony Wright
Amazing..
Where is this chart to be found? ruclips.net/video/pK7Eeoypxfc/видео.htmlh35m2s
I look at the painting at 53:40 and I can't help but think this man's fingers are getting second degree burns and his skin is falling off all because he couldn't bother to go get a torch. What can I say, artists aren't always thoughtful of such things in their rendering!
awesome! Way to go
Preach it brother!
Who's doing this speech?
Andrew Faust
The Chimp Gestation period comment of 24 months is incorrect. Maybe he was thinking about elephants.
Bravo!
Thanks!
Ola!
the background music has these sounds. Like the sound of someone dropping colored pencils on the floor.
You like that ?...our own special touch:)
i can dig it
Thanks Chris ,drop me a line about the skype date again.
So humans shouldn't be raw vegan...
Very interesting
nice
Fcukin' trees man!
They are the biggest most ancient things on the land let's partner with them!
The impact crater in Greenland was 3 billions years ago and did not destroy the dinosaurs
long live the birds!
anybody else catch the fart @ 1:37:38?

That's called life as we know it.
Without Animal Husbandry .....We would all eat for Free...!
I think you mean grain fed rather then 100% grass fed animals because they in fact are eating for free too!
Without animal husbandry the earth would be covered in food producing trees and the trees would balance the CO2 levels
Not all the earth is meant for forest ecologies.
stopped watching the video cause the background music is annoying. why put music in the background of a talk? really a shame.
theres a million or so Vegans spinning in their chairs right now haaaaaaa great vid cheers
Thank you so much you know I have compassion for starving one self in the name of your ethics but it just is not useful at the end of the day in my view.
water is god
Not bad but man many wrong facts. MANY.

Uh oh... "science is a religion" NEXT.
The Gaia hypothesis is a load of old toss.
Explain please.
