Tackling our existential crisis by rethinking economics | Kees Klomp | TEDxUtrecht

We are in the midst of an existential crisis; an entangled clusterfuck of ecological, social, individual and economic crises. To answer these crises, we need a fundamentally new economic system.
In this TEDx-talk, Kees Klomp will share the main characteristics of this radically life-centered economic theory and practice; alongside it’s international protagonists! Kees Klomp (1968) studied political science and communication, and worked for 15+ years as a business consultant, and now as an applied scientist in education.
Klomp has dedicated his life to develop theory and practice that helps the planet and humanity, rather than hurts the planet and humanity. Klomp is married, has 3 children and lives in rural Drenthe. TEDx is a wonderful platform to share some hope. We can change the system! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    I posited growth economy is inherently not sustainable more than a decade ago, while being a student. I came up with a saying 'embrace the need not the end', hoping I could use it in some sustainability initiative. However instead of sustainability, got trapped in a subsistence life, only producing waste while others build profit on my labour/life. So one thing I won't agree on is about making more money, when one doesn't have enough, more money would make all the difference for them in this society, which promoted money from an exchange tool to a virtue. To start with money was used to make transactions easier, and now we've made societies a servant to it, and itself a tool to impose power on others. Maybe we can change the system but the key word here is 'we', you rarely can bring a positive systemic change alone...

    Did he just miss the part where humans are driven by self interest, which is at the heart of economics? Activism can eradicate competition? He is not advocating socialism is he? The heart of the argument is that ecology is threatened. Who will deploy their capital, retirement fund, savings, for return on "interbeing". There are definitely other approaches to revive the ecology. Recreating the economy sounds like fun. Oh wait, privatisation of natural resources... its already coming down the pipes...

    That's why we are the only species that actively destroy the habitat we live in. I don't think this was about socialism the big boogey in your mind but neoliberalism is a true horror show. What's so awful about living with less material and not letting money control our lives?

    Look at the sunlight warming the day. The light you see has traveled over ninety-million miles to greet you. These rays arrive, one after another, every instant to brighten the world around you. But if you were to hold up a convex lens, you would experience even more of its power. Imagine harnessing the power of your mind like a convex lens. Like cars merging when lanes are reduced, you can concentrate your thoughts together. What could you switch off today so that all your power might converge like rays of the sun brought into a focus?

    Utopian speculation? Do you think indigenous activists trying to defend the rainforest that we all benefit from in places like Brazil and Colombia, are just also sheltered? Industrial worker’s in Africa fighting for better labor conditions and pollution regulation by US corporations sheltered as well? Who will fight for a sustainable planet and a future worth living in if you “grew up”? It’s capitalism that’s killing the world and needs to be dismantled and that isn’t a new hypothesis particular to one era “the 60s”.
