Our food supply is oil dependant. Please Google:- Green revolution. When I was born in 1948 there were 2 billion people living on planet Earth. Now there are 7 billion. The Green revolution made that possible. Three ways our food supply is oil dependant. The Green revolution - a range of agricultural chemicals that tripled food production. Farm machinery powered by diesel from oil. Transport powered by diesel. The discovery of oil peaked in 1964. Since then in each decade less oil was found than the previous decade. In 2019 Rystad Energy reported that the global discovery of oil had declined to 9 billion barrels. Mankind consumes 36 billion barrels PA. 9 billion barrels is sufficient to run the world for 3 months. 9 billion barrels is 27 billion barrels short of what is required. Soon demand will exceed supply. Price will escalate. Eventually oil products will become ESSENTIAL SERVICES ONLY. Expensive oil means expensive food. A shortage of oil means a shortage of food. Please grow your own food. The next crisis is a food crisis. Regards Gray Australia
Honest Person It’s less about all of the categories you put him in and more about his thoughtful and well-researched questions. He’s obviously a kind and well-educated person who cares about making a difference in the world (education and national origin are beside the point).
Me too. I completely fell in love with him sometime last year when I discovered The TED Interview podcast. He's such a thoughtful host asking incredible questions. I'm jealous of all the TED attendees who probably knew this for years. I hope TED will continue with more interviews going forward. The pandemic brought many changes, unfortunately not many good ones, but the new way TED had to manage this year's conference (so many interviews and Q&As after talks) I count in the good ones.
@@SashaTownsendTulsa Do you follow the TED Interview Podcast, if not you are in for a treat! I loved so many of those conversations, the one with Monica Lewinsky springs to mind. From the recent TED videos I loved the conversation between Chris and Jane Goodall - I don't think it's youtube yet, you can see it on TED.com www.ted.com/talks/jane_goodall_every_day_you_live_you_impact_the_planet It's perfect.
The risk in forming a 'Social Bond' issuing Foundation is asking some people to judge others and thereby form themselves into a 'supremacy.' We all aspire to a perfect place, its just not here.
I am an immigrant who came with parents when I was 16. We landed in US with less than $3000 in pocket to start our life (before paying our first month of rent). We stayed in a housing with only shared bathroom and shared kitchen. So I assume we are lower than bottom 1%? I started my education on US soil in a high school with 70% African Americans. Yet, I study hard and worked hard and now are close to top 1% working for W2. And you also mentioned that you were able to worked your way from bottom 1% to top 1%. So we both proof that with hard work anyone can go through public education and get to the top, this isn’t possible in most countries in the world. Not only that, I also feel the most respect from people in US (regardless the skin color), and never did I feel the racist you talked about. I seriously question the idea to defund police because they are also mostly hard working individuals who help protect us. America has plenty of opportunities, people should not blame others for supremacy etc, if they work as hard as you and I, I bet they can also be successful.
This is one of the worst TED talk videos I've seen so far. I've been subsribed to TED for years. I watched the whole video (as hard as that was) before committing. A Lifes Matter. I'm ethnically mixed, and got more distant from Blacks thsn another other group because I don't wallow in their in their project/welfare mentality. As a single parent I when to post high school education to a good job. I bought a house that was a fixer upper and myself and the childern did work on that house so in six years I could barrow against it to buy a better house. There are opportunities for people who look for them.
You should thank our Feminists for fucking over the black population. They promoted the 'victimhood' in blacks under the guise of kindness & saying they should demand compensation for wrong doings... --The problem with that is as you likely have seen... Blacks on average stop... they don't attempt to get past the first set of failures in their life & demand they be compensated for it.... & the issue with that is .. 'live is unfair', and EVERYONE but prodigies fails a good number of times before they find their success... we just don't hear about it most the time. Blacks have been made mental slaves to masters that they invent.... and now they are having their entire essence used to destabilize a nation, attack others, & take from them. I wonder what it would seem like to people if we could see everyones life. Blacks are useful for the coal for burning everything to the ground.. They have been installed with mentality of failure, so they can be used as coal to attack others. [surprisingly sick if you ask me] -- All the while, the ones doing it are doing in the name of kindness & are genuinely immune to critique.... and the real kindness gets treated as well evil. ---- How much would have been different if in the 70's/80's we instead 'declared' racism against blacks gone & that any black that failed .. did so because THEY failed. would that IDK .. maybe promote personal accountability or the drive to succeed past the obsticals in the way... because 'you've been oppressed & deserve compensation' clearly has produced worthless black community whom teaches their kids to be mental slaves to masters that they make up.
amazing how that gets used when it's being used to justify taking from others whom earned what they had & weren't given anything... but hey, because their white.... they didn't earn it or was it their own efforts that got them where they are.
@@DePhoegonIsle Ok, you must be uncomfortable. Let's talk. I have a question for you. Is Mr. Darren Walker a white person, an earned person, or a non earned person?
