the very high cliff
:38:02
represents the virtually
united resources
:38:05
we seem to have when
we began this journey.
:38:08
The craft isnt flying
:38:11
because it's not built according
to the laws of aerodynamics
:38:15
and is subject
to the law of gravity.
:38:17
Civilization is not flying
:38:18
because it's not built according
to the laws of aerodynamics
:38:23
for civilizations
that would fly.
:38:25
And of course the ground
is still a long way away
:38:28
but some people have seen
that ground rushing up
:38:32
sooner than
the rest of us have.
:38:34
The visionaries have seen it
and have told us its coming.
:38:40
Theres not a
single scientific
:38:43
peer reviewed paper published
in the last 25years
:38:47
that would contradict
this scenario
:38:53
Every living system
of earth
:38:56
is in decline
:38:57
every life support system
of earth is in decline
:39:01
and these together
constitute the biosphere
:39:04
the biosphere that supports
and nurtures all of life
:39:08
not just our life but perhaps
30 million other species
:39:12
that share
this planet with us.

The typical company
of the 20th century
:39:22
extractive wasteful
abusive linear
:39:25
in all of its processes
:39:27
taking from the earth
:39:29
making wasting
sending its products
:39:32
back to the biosphere
waste to a landfill...
:39:38
I myself was amazed to learn
just how much stuff
:39:41
the earth has to produce
through our extraction process
:39:47
to produce a dollar of
revenue for our company.
:39:50
When I learnt
I was flabbergasted.
:39:59
We are leaving a terrible
legacy of poison
