I lived six months in New Zealand when I was 18 and 19 in early 1966 and loved it there. So glad to learn of Kevin through his appearances on NATURE BATS LAST. Kudos, both of you
Well said! With your permission I would like to adapt it slightly and feature it on the post-doom website (just under the definitions). See here: postdoom.com/ Is this okay with you?
@@thegreatstory ya for sure.......I think you me and Kevin all around same age as we all watch the red torqued Frenchman sailor explore the corral reefs that was a family thrill every seek back then when we only had 3 channels....
Cheers Kevin, love your passion and honesty, spoken in true kiwi fashion. Michael you are a true gem, you have educated yourself so completely on these topics and communicate so well that you have become one of the few that can fully connect with the boomer generation, and all others also. Greatly appreciative of you and your work!!
Thanks, Vaughan! If you've not already seen it, my latest two-part video series, "Collapse in a Nutshell: Understanding Our Predicament" has garnered 125,000 views in 12 days (a first for me): ruclips.net/video/e6FcNgOHYoo/видео.html / Please join us, if you're so led: postdoom.com/discussions/ I also recommend the "post-doom" conversations and resources found here: postdoom.com
I like this guy. It took me longer to see/realize/admit it, but it can no longer be denied. The situation is beyond dire and we aren't doing anywhere close to enough to fix it. We won't and it's almost certainly too late now even if we miraculously did collectively take it seriously.
Actually I had a chat with the Angel of Death and I told him that the the way things were going , he might be out of a job soon . He kinda got this far away look in his eye and walked away all stoop shouldered and pigeon-toed .
This entire conversation is an example of run-away anthropomorphism! "Human Exceptionalism" is what I would call it. All things considered how can you NOT see homo sapiens as a a pernicious invasive species? We ALONE created this mess. The entire remainder of the biosphere is totally innocent. From a truly genuine altruistic point of view, wouldn't it be better for all of LIFE if we humans just went extinct? Seriously. You have to answer that objective question.
You could not be more mistaken, treefrog! Kevin and I both vociferously reject anthropocentrism. We both consider ourselves ecocentrists. Seriously! Here's my version, for example: ruclips.net/video/DEDvM8Agmw4/видео.html Much more here: ruclips.net/p/PLcAlqMeyeaW9jp15vd-8nfmhf6Ka_jDug
2022..., I predicted that it would be the year, due to the amount of destruction from climate disasters, that the world would understand, its impending doom. A doubling of disasters per year. Be kind to your active Army Servicemen.
Kevin, you are full of wisdom, but I can't agree with preparing to go out and hunt down a wild creature. That is an incredibly dystopian vision of a future human life. It is people who should be dying, not the rest of the biosphere. We all need advice now on how to exit this world with some dignity and leave a nuclear-free world for the life that is still clinging on.
"Should" or "should not" is not the issue now, it seems to me. We are, in fact, causing a mass extinction with millions of species being included, and we are, in fact, most likely leaving a super bitter and geologically catastrophic nuclear legacy. I invite you to see my latest two vids which, together, have generated 85,000 comments in just over a week. (Never had that happen before! :-) ruclips.net/video/e6FcNgOHYoo/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/lPMPINPcrdk/видео.html
I think if I become so hungry I want to hunt wildlife that I will take myself out with carbon monoxide fumes from a charcoal grill in a closed up bathroom. Seems like a painless way to go without the violence of a pistol.
@@everythingmatters6308 There are better ways. See here: sanctioned-suicide.org/ which was featured in a recent NYTimes article, here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/09/us/where-the-despairing-log-on.html
@@thegreatstory Thanks, but the NYT has a paywall. I checked out your first link. I saw a lot of talk about suicide and despair but didn't see any "better ways" discussed. Can you just list a few?
@@thegreatstory I’m trying to spread Guy’s message by making comments at other sites-so although I wasn’t addressing you (I think-the family aphasia makes it difficult to remember accurately), thank you for responding. Wish I knew how to email you a subscription numbers list I compiled recently; ‘twas in creating same that I discovered your vids, which I certainly will be watching more of. Kudos🙏🖖
Grief management is me gardening and seed saving for next year. Sharing my knowledge and communing with other gardeners.
It's about time we finally have this conversation. Even if it's doom and gloom we still live on this rock and need to know this. Thank you both
You're most welcome, Dorothy.
Great conversation. Thanks so much.
Thanks, Sharon... yes, Kevin is the best of the best!
It's great listening to Kevin, so spot on with many things.
Yup, I agree!
Thanks for the candor Kevin.

Awesome advice at the end by Kevin Hester.
People like Kevin and guy didn't give up they stood up......empathy is what comes with the realization of what's coming down the pipe...

Our pleasure!
I absolutely love this interview.
Thanks, Olivia...Connie and I do, too!
I love you Kevin Hester. I wish I could get away from the ones who don’t care. I grieve with you. 😘
So much Post Doom to catch up on!
I wish people would remember the contributions of Micheal C Rupert.
Many of us do!
The Angel of Death has spoken. Don't mess with the Angel Of Death, you gonna be sorry.
Actually I had a chat with the Angel of Death and I told him that the the way things were going , he might be out of a job soon . He kinda got this far away look in his eye and walked away all stoop shouldered and pigeon-toed .
Francis Madigan Shoulda asked for a volume discount. 😏💀😗
Y'all are having too much fun!
At least Post Doom, we will not have to use facebook, twitter and youtube.
At least I don't use facebook - now 9 years on.

James Lovelock was perhaps the first to say Climate Change would be our total species' end.
He’s less anxious now, and thinks our purpose is the create our AI replacements in the Novacene.
At 28.32 is the point I try to make when talking post doom to folks. A million pissed off youth soon. Very frightened as well.

Watch Guy McPherson’s NATURE BATS LAST for climate change updates.
I do...religiously, actually. 🙂
