    Amazing presentation, Ben, even better than Peter.

    It has striking resemblance with the one I just did at the world symposium, Foundation of the New Civilization.

    Brilliant talk. I want to challenge you to do a super refined (and entertaining) 15 minute talk that we can spread to all those with not enough attention spans to watch these or the Zeitgeist movies. GO! (please) Thank you :D

    Yet another excellent presentation. I would only add (in my opinion) that (lack of) space exploration is... very delayed. Since those 'new frontiers' would seemingly help endless growth for today economic system in reality our (real) leaders are horrified of loosing control of these independent, highly valuable colonies that COULD actually change their society into what we want here and attract new members from 'old flock'...
    So, my (rather depressing) opinion is we can't change our society ('social sluggishness') without major crises (I'd like to do this without millions of dead bodies...) and that is why I think small self sustaining community can actually do this.
    I really liked the ending of lecture that puts optimistic tone to all this (who would say, 4000 years ago, that peasants could build 4M tons building... pyramids) Challenge the impossible!
