  1. Oil makes us 100x more productive - but it won't last forever. Excellent summary of how we got here and where we might be going by #NateHagens : youtu.be/uRIxJ4B3fNQ #TheGreatSimplification #Oil #IranWar #PeakOil

    This is a really interesting interview discussing the potential issues of “AI” reliance…

  3. Oh wow. Nate Hagen debunks 10 myths still taught in biz schools & economics classes – and describes their bad effects on our cultures, our ethical norms, and on the natural environment we're but a part of.
    So satisfying! We should say EconObscene, not Anthropocene! youtube.com/watch?v=GkIedVEkQZ

    His way of illustrating his talk with charts and photos and stuff is also very neat.

    If you don't know Nate Hagen yet, maybe check out his podcast #TheGreatSimplification and search for researcher names in his guest list you know. He talks to all kinds of researchers, social, medical, natural, economics, engineers, climate, everything. thegreatsimplification.com/pod

    He has a Phd in economics (in fact, he mentions the topic of his thesis in the talk above), used to work as stockbroker or something, until he got fed up with the narrow, surreal focus of economics.

  4. I loved this two-hour(!) conversation with Oxford professor Iain McGilchrist, entitled “Wisdom Over Power: Why Contemplation & Wonder Are Essential for the Future of Humanity”.
    Wide-ranging, but never boring, it takes you on a journey through the brain, spirituality and the power we all have to improve the well-being of our communities and the wider world.

  6. I'm always threatening one of these days I'll write a book called "The world's last modern country".

  7. 👉 L'effondrement (ou #TheGreatSimplification) est un processus, pas un événement. Il est en cours.

    👉 Des points saillants sont néanmoins identifiables. La perte des glaces arctiques est prochaine (d'ici 20 ans, aka arctic BOE) et entraînera un dérèglement inusité du climat, notablement dans l'hémisphère nord où est située la majorité des surfaces agricoles. Une explosion du prix des aliments est à prévoir, si on ne retire pas "du marché" les denrées essentielles.

  8. Check this out: it's really, really good.

    We. must. stop. promoting. narcissists. and. sycophants. if. we. are. to. save. humanity.

  9. This #TheGreatSimplification episode is @NJHagens at his very best: from domination to partnership societies with Riane Eisler. Societal change, ultimately, will be to move away from our hierarchical possessive relationships toward a culture of care.

  10. Fascinating conversation between Geoffrey West and Nate Hagens about the metabolism of our societies .

    And I can't help but wonder how a world with more physicists than economists would be.
