I had to try that after your comment and yes very good to understand still!
7 years later. Did he anticipate the rise in fascism we're seeing as a result of migration across Europe and the US?
He has such a soothing voice...
conserve and preserve as much as is possible

Paralysis of choice.
1:49:27 Assumptive Reality: don't push your reduction onto a fictive future group of people, start with yourself change your behavior: adopt zero/low waste practices, eat wfpb, use public transit. If you cannot do these things because the local environment doesn't provide infrastructure, work to change that then continue to change your personal lifestyle/habits. Set this example for both your peers and the upcoming generations.

Corporations massive emissions are the issue, not your personal "footprint". The personal responsibility argument is literally part of a decades long campaign by industries that pollutes to shift blame from them to you and defeat any organized action. Changing infrastructure is much more important and we have to organize collectively to do it, because green capitalism is bullshit
Armies were way ahead of Pavlov
what ever
When he speaks about achievements of capitalism, it is clear that he's never experienced other capitalisms than a German social democracy😂
Needs to read some neuroscience. And understand the evolutionary reasons for human behavior P

Evolutionary psychology cannot explain that much, especially if we talk about social behavior. That's why sociology and social psychology exists.

Because professors in psychology famously are unaware of neuropsychology and have never heard of evolution as a concept -.-
Kind of idealistic and naive. But interesting....
