Tarot of the Carbon Pulse - with Nate Hagens | Earth Day 2022 

I would love this to be adopted by Netflix. It deserves to reach a much wider audience than is likely on RU-vid

I love the cyclical and rhythmic pattern to Nate's content. We are witnessing a philosopher refine his story. Remarkable! We need SYNTHESIS. Way beyond being interdisciplinary, we need new disciplines that are restructured for the era we are in and moving towards. The more I envision a Great Simplification in my life and the lives of the people I love, the more I feel a sense of intimidation on a grand hero's journey, a sense of vulnerability, and a sense of peace and meaning being attainable. We could rediscover what it really feels like to be living creatures part of nature, not automatons divorced from life, aimless. I believe Nate is getting very close to redefining wealth NOT as materialism, but as Self-Determination. This is my definition. I believe when we live out the adventures and creative pursuits that call out to us, that are almost not at all materialistic, we tap into the greatest source energy of all: MEANING.

Nate, your presentations have given me, a grumpy old retired man, a new mening in life. Thank you!

Nate this is so awesome. You're at the cutting edge of actually summarizing these things comprehensively, succinctly and with salience.

So long I have spent struggling to solve problems in communicating these principles which Nate has produced with precision and clarity beyond compare. I look at your short videos as must-see content for anyone looking to understand the circumstances we must face together on this earth. They cleave past jargon and partisanship to acknowledge a clear and ghastly global future as it is being manifested by our global past and present. I have wasted decades, crudely trying to make people change their reality. As I have come to better understand that it is perception which creates reality, this work of yours is essential for how effectively it can transform perception. Thank you for helping my mind and heart and tongue find so much clarity. I hope this reaches far and wide.

Brilliant material , concepts, ideas, evidence, creativity, science, knowledge thank you Nate for creating this work. The information you share is so valuable and will ripple out to others. We need to simplify now not later. Finding meaning in simplicity , interconnectedness with nature and people, to share resources, care for each other and the environment which we all depend. It is a sense of gaining that needs to be built, not a sense of loss for what we could miss out on. Fascinating and challenging times ahead indeed. And so much to gain from simplification.

Absolutely brilliant! This presentation should be in every school, every university, corporation, business and household! Really grateful for your effort and also for the artwork!

Neatly done. You are a gem, Dr. Hagens. Thank you for sharing the message about the the meta-crisis.

Rarely have I seen such an interdisciplinary grasp that so readily, wholistically conveys the larger gestalt as beautifully as you have. I'm happy to have stumbled into your work!

Nate, this is fantastic! Takes hard to visualize complexity and makes it stunningly clear. And the symbolism behind the Tarot framing is just brilliant. Thank you. This is quite a resource.

That ending was beautiful, thank you very much. Definitely quoting this in the report I'm doing about energy. Have a great day !

I’ve stumbled across your channel and so glad I have - this presentation is amazing - I’ll have to go back and listen to it a couple of times and take notes to be able to absorb all of the information. Thank you 🙏 again - brilliant 👏👏.

Thank you Nate & collaborators. Beautiful summary of much complex information.

Excellent summary of our predicament, the human overshoot of Earth's capacity, and some pathways toward genuine solutions. Overshoot, of course, is a natural phenomenon, seen in most successful species. Even in our gardens we witness everything growing into each other. In nature, all solutions to overshoot involve contraction. No exceptions.

I just love how you keep exploring Nate, if I may call you Nate. Always there are jewels that deepen my understanding. Enjoy the beauty of Spring as it finally dawns Up North!

May it be so, all the scales and the ancestors of all the scales contributing beauty to the planet send energy to swell the tide of sane, reverent treatment for all life.

Brilliant … timeless on a relevant scale … time capsule material as well … Nate sums things up perfectly : )

Thank you Nate for another great Earth Day presentation. I loved the illustrations this year and this presentations seemed to smoothly weave the concepts together in a easy to follow narrative for those less versed in the topics.

Thank❤🌹🙏 you, Nate👍! Great presentation!

This was beautifully done and inspiring. Thank you!

Wow! So captivating. So dense. So effective. So essential.

Simply brilliant!

Kia ora, greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand. Oh my goodness! Thank you for this gift. We will use it wisely!

Another fantastic presentation. Great creativity!

Thank you for the breadth and depth of this important message.

Awesome talk, awesome artwork. I found the things to do section at the end very moving and inspiring. Thanks for the good work Nate, keep it coming please

thank you for your efforts. great video.

While we still have nation states, and are prepared to see competition between them, nothing will ever change. It simply can't, it's mathematical.

Damn, I love you.

Thank you Nate, this is inspiring! I am working on getting out in the world as a regenerative soil advocate to educate the general public on the promising improvements we can make in many challenges by restoring our soil. I really needed to hear this.

Superb, the excellent graphics are a compelling complement to the narrative . Had to pause for an Interlude after 50 minutes because I needed a break to reflect & to refocus my attention span to reach the end. Thankyou.

The art and poetry in this video are breathtaking. If you offered this Tarot deck for sale as a fundraiser, I'd definitely buy one. But I have to ask, what are you unable to say even here (The Forbidden, 00:47:53)? All the bad news that you and your guests bring us gives me odd comfort, knowing that someone is speaking truth to power. If I'm going to be hit by an onrushing train, I'd rather see it coming and at least imagine I could get out of the way. I didn't learn of The Great Simplification until mid-2023. I listened to all the back episodes of the podcast, but this can't translate into audio. Someone who was just turned on to you by someone who was just turned on to you by me and someone else we all know alerted me to this video, and I'm ever so glad that she did.

brilliant presentation. 💛

Wonderful project, Nate. Thank you!

This information is so important. I hope most of the people will start to think about these issues. Thank you Nate.

this deserves more views!

this is pretty awesome

This "summation" should be required viewing for EVERYONE. Too many Americans and global citizens are ignorant of the stark realities presented here. They "hear" about global warming and climate change but are viscerally ignorant of its implications. Our politicians, priests, economists and corporate leaders have all abandoned their civic responsibility AND their own humanity.

Wonderful version of your work!

Halfway through.. wow!! Thank you Nate 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing. You have a great deal of wisdom.

Love this ..ha! ...I study Astrology and Tarot... But..also .SCIENCE.. good tool here...I am sending this video to my brother...he should be able to appreciate it ..he was a " car guy".. and he worked with a company laying gas pipelines ..then he hauled cars with his own diesel pick up. He also has big machines to do brush hogging and back hoe etc. I know....I can reach him with THIS ...this way..I can make inroads ....by using this ...he ..and other family members..just do not grasp any if this.

I'd enjoy hearing you do a podcast/interview with Derek Jensen. He does many, so he's likely available. He's about as hard-core deep-green as it gets, and he's very fun/articulate.

The more love. The more grief.

That was amazing Nate thank you so much! Must have taken so much effort and it was very creative and cool. Based on the kinds of things discussed here, it sounds like our species has missed the chance the become space faring -- if the building of space-stuff requires the wild excesses of the last 70 years to even have the metals, scientists and will spare to launch things off of the planet then what chance do we have when the only way to build rockets (we have seen) is have massive economic growth and surplus. Why would humanity focus on the exorbitant cost of getting into space when there is only subsistence down here. Maybe this is the great filter. No civilization uses its gifted resources well enough to make it to space. Great stuff thank you again!

Excellent presentation Nate Hagens I really wanted to share this video about advancement toward an ecologically responsible society, but I cannot because it promoted the very dangerous policy of taxation of nonrenewable resources. Carbon taxes and the like will benefit the established authorities and market leaders to such an extent that all other people will become enslaved and by setting a price on pollution the greatest polluters will wash their hands of guilt while paying the politicians just enough to prevent competion, but not enough to help anyone. In a global society that keeps more than 85% of the children in poverty there is no reasonable argument for trusting our governments to do anything but kill. It's true that we must recalibrate and develop a sustainable and responsible alternative society. Pollution and excessive energy use must be corrected, but that won't happen if we rely on the benevolence and creativity of the most ruthless and dishonest people. It won't happen while people are fighting each other for food and status. It can't happen while our minds are preoccupied with war. First, we must (nearly) eradicate poverty. When people are empowered then they can exercise their will to behave responsibly. Some enlightened individuals find empowerment within and they may live peaceful lives of material poverty and social isolation. Most people have not made peace with death and they cannot think clearly until they establish a modicum of wealth and security. Although there will be a great expenditure of energy as we enrich billions of people, those people are the key to cleaning up the mess we have made. If we trap them in the current culture of rape and abuse then the talents and potential of billions of people will continue to be wasted and the world will go up in flames as the hungriest fools battle for access to clean water and reproductive allowances. On the other hand, if we empower everyone with access to the wealth of the earth then some fraction of that wealth will fund the reformative revolution which must occur if we hope not to completely destroy ourselves and this wonderous planet.

Thanks! Shared with human ecologist Terje Bongard of Norway.

Brilliant. My only wish -- a full transcript with a chronological index to the video, giving the start time of each of the 80 featured concepts. Guess I'll have to prepare my own.

wow cool!

10 points for using the word "wend" !

less than 200 views......wow......people should be watching this......whole nations should be watching this.....all schools....all leaders.......this is why we are doomed.....people are watching sports and kim kardashian????

So. Fucking. Good.

We will shrink our economies. We will shrink our systems. We will shrink our ecological impact. Unfortunately, it will likely only begin to happen when our numbers decrease in large quantities.

You can group energy and materials together. Access to materials is dependent on energy. What makes materials finite is the enormous amount of energy required to get them.

thank you nate....how can we get humans to get this?,,,,are most people dumb?....most people asleep?

Our society spends 1.5 Trillion dollars a year promoting consumption just to "earn a living" and stay in business. We need to end the need to earn a living to stop this. We must meet people's needs unconditionally. For this we need to foster generosity and altruism.

All we have is time.

Really thought provoking video. Where can I find the transcript for sharing? Thanks for your efforts.

❤

I think you missed the one of key cards: culture.

I looked through your videos because i love this one. Of course as a woman I wondered why there are only 2 women’s voices on your videos. Come now…🤨

You really have to pay attention to every word, very detailed and absolutely concerning.

What is the deck in the thumbnail pls?

👍

Hi Nate I wanted to try and teach myself ecological economics in my free time so I can make opportunities to try to mitigate things. Do you have recommended material I can try to read or any advice in trying to learn more? I generally read a lot of books, but I feel like I should be learning more technical material as well. Any help would be appreciated! I am awed the wealth of knowledge you and your guest bring to your podcast. Thank you

Is it possible to get this as a transcript?

Really wanted to love this, there's so much that is very well done with excellent truth spoken. But it's also filled with hopium bubbles, that cause the messaging to be like riding a yo-yo. Nate isn't comfortable in Collapse Acceptance. And as he states at the beginning, "I'm now a scientist so I don't believe it Tarot per se" - yep that's obvious - he doesn't know how to read the cards. Humans have centuries left? What? Seems he's not a scientist either. Bummer, Nate. This really could've been so so good.
