It should be a requirement that ALL postings must readily evidentiate the replete, specific date, that the original information was presented & or posted. This just overtly evidentiates the utter lackings of common sense regulations, let alone ethical standards ! 😮
It's sad to see after 24 years that Dana died, the world is in a situation that has no brake to stop it from falling. She was a true environmentalist with the hope for humanity but what we see today is far from it. WE ARE F***ED....
Boomers breeders and borrowers = parasite class. This woman and those like her = symbiotes. As long as parasites are tolerated and not exterminated.... No good will happe. If the club of Rome + WEF would give me the resources id gladly be the super villian this world needs. 6.5billion parasitic apes dead in less than 5 years. Then the symbiotes could live a fantastic life in harmony with nature in perpetuity. It's not as difficult to do as you believe. You just need the resources. Not nukes or bio weapons either.
I don’t see how an ecologist, using traditional reductionist methods, would not come to the same conclusions and observations. Does this mean that all ecologists are system analysts? Is this something that was always there but now has I catchy name tag?
as relevant as ever. cannot go a single day without thinking and applying systems thinking. influenced my views on sustainability greatly, recognizing that we must address racial capitalism if we are to address environmental issues. nothing operates outside of each other. things as mundane as food relates back to politics and the economy. thank you dana for your wisdom
She passed away in February 2021, before 9/11. This talk happened in March 1999. Would have loved to hear her assessment of the pandemic, government response, and extreme inequality today.
@17:56 Here after quantitative easing and two years of the Fed buying $120B+ worth of bonds every month, inflating the stock market to all-time highs, giving Billions to Billionaires while shutting down small and medium businesses with mandatory shutdowns. She nailed this 20 years ago. Wow
Her point at 21:50 is so good. Talking about the economy outside of the environment is like talking about an organ trying to function outside of the body. It doesn’t. It ceases to work. Unfortunately, the US is getting ready to experience exactly what this means. Godspeed to anyone listening to her wisdom in 2022
Thank you, Jennifer, for posting the best of Donella’s wisdom - all uploaded before she left us. What an incredible mind. As important as Jane Jacobs. An incredibly smart and influential thinker.
As smart this woman is i can't fathom how she can't see that everything is pushed by population i.e. day by day more and more people being birthed into the world . That's the root of the problem . Here i have solved it for you .
Seeing the big picture is difficult for many people. Maybe think about why more and more people being birthed every day. you think everything can be reduced to this issue, and if what you are saying is true, you would not have an explanation for the why. why is the world population growing?
"as the spirit moves me" - the solutions to our problems are with the spirit...tis a question not of the awareness that is in our heads but the awareness by which we live...blessings
3:43: I hate this dude who's interrupting her and talking over her. I understand that he wants to challenge her mindset and I appreciate that he's passionate about it. It was still very rude and one more data point in the "men can't seem to be respectful of a woman's expertise" argument.
Wow, can we make her president!? For decades I've thought that the human race is acting like cancer on the planet, mainly due to our growth based ways. She covers this and more in very informed ways.
You also did a wonderful job with your dissertation. And the result is also: HOW can we reach SUSTAINABILITY: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yclt9mzH0GI.html
1999. The National Town Meeting for a Sustainable America was in 1999 according to an archived Clinton site. I googled it because I wanted to cite this lecture.
She is really the ORIGINAL SOURCE OF SUSTAINABILITY, and many other people will follow her 👍🏾 So do I.... YES WE CAN 2016 - 2116 is an encouragement for mankind to save a sustainable biosphere on earth by a free decision for OneChildPolicy. To reduce worldpopulation from 7.4 Billion in 2016 to the tolerable size of TWO Billion (2x10^9) according to ecological research e. g. Donella and Dennis Meadows ('Beyond the Limits'), Stanford- University of California (Biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, 'The Population Bomb') and the BertTheAce Research-Institute for Ecology (Foundation, 'World Biosphere') we need FOUR Generations (100 years) of OneChildPolicy worldwide on a free decision. If we succeed with worldwide OCP for the coming 100 years, mankind has a good chance to reach a balance between consumption of natural resources, pollution and recovery of a sustainable biosphere for thousands of generations.......and isn't the care for our biosphere on earth a better option for mankind, than to try to escape to Mars, who did already loose his biosphere ? HISTORY will CONFIRM BertTheAce and his MASTERPLAN 'YES WE CAN 2016 - 2116' Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i48bb22fPdI.html

When considering the behaviour of Presidents within the system, there are exceptions occasionally. Indeed. Had she lived she would have been interested to see how Trump is dismantling the system around him.
I think about this lecture within the context of the current presidency all. the. time. When he was elected, I assumed "he can only do so much"...boy, was I wrong; he has dismantled that system.
@@jenniferfoster4577 Obama and Bush and Clinton before that were doing GREAT! .. Encouraging the CCP to run rampant with input production factor standards consisting of exploiting a population with zero human rights and destroying the environment.
