Derrick Jensen, author of many books such as; "Endgame," "The Culture of Make Believe," "A Language Older than Words," and his latest books, "Songs of the Dead," and "What We Leave Behind," will be interviewed on the Mitakuye Oyasin radio program on Thursday, April 8, 6-7pm.Derrick is a long time activist and lecturer whose work embodies information about the destruction of the earth by this culture.
We will discuss his latest works and how it relates to the world around us as, I've read, Derrick is excellent at explaining on a personal and greater level how all things are interconnected. How all things are related. How we are all related. How we all relate to each other. What will we leave behind?
Tune into KBOO on April 8th, 6-7pm to hear the interview with Derrick on "Mitakuye Oyasin," and learn how garbage, waste, and many other things we leave behind relate to us and the world around us.
Mitakuye Oyasin is a Native American collective. Mitakuye oyasin is Lakota for "all my relations," or "we are all related." "Mitakuye Oyasin" discusses issues from personal to global from our various indigenous perspectives and how all things are related.
Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.
ReplyDeleteThe link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.
The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.
The first rule of sustainability is - destroy less.
The fewer things we make the more sustainable we are.
A society that destroys ecosystems for "consumer goods" in addition to food, clothing and shelter is the least sustainable - and will exist for the shortest duration.
Industrial society has destroyed necessary things [animals, trees, air, water and land] for making unnecessary things [consumer goods].
In "Industrial Society" work turns into overwork, unnecessary work, destructive work.
"Growth Rate" - "Economy Rate" - "GDP"
These are figures of "Ecocide".
These are figures of "crimes against Nature".
These are figures of "destruction of Ecosystems".
These are figures of "Insanity, Abnormality and Criminality".
Infinite growth and development on a small planet that is just 40,000 km in circumference? - Industrial Society is insane.
