500Years of Debt by Jan Krikke: In a thought-provoking dialogue hosted by the Korea IT Times, philosopher Layne Hartsell and journalist Jan Krikke delved into the profound implications of the history and procession of debt spanning over five centuries. The discussion brought together diverse viewpoints on the socio-economic and moral dimensions of indebtedness that have shaped human societies globally. Jan Krikke, drawing from his extensive journalistic experience covering global economic trends, provided a pragmatic perspective on how debt has been utilized by governments, corporations, and individuals to drive progress and navigate crises and highlighted the dual nature of debt as both a tool for economic growth and a potential catalyst for instability when mismanaged or exploited such as when the US left the gold standard in 1971. The dialogue between Hartsell and Krikke underscored the procession of debt from ancient times to the present day, touching upon landmark events such as the emergence of modern banking systems, sovereign debt crises, and the global financial meltdown of 2008. Their exchange explored how debt has influenced geopolitical power dynamics, societal structures, and individual freedoms over centuries.Throughout the conversation, both speakers agreed on the complexity of debt as a subject that defies simple categorization or resolution. Hartsell’s philosophical inquiry complemented Krikke’s journalistic analysis, offering a comprehensive view that touched upon historical, ethical, and practical dimensions.The discussion echoed beyond the confines of academia and journalism, resonating with broader societal debates on economic justice, sustainability, and the responsibilities inherent in managing debt in the 21st century.

Neo-malthusian idiocy; absolute crap. DJ is someone's tool LOL

Land is everything. All species including human benefit best to make planet health a priority above all else. Humans idea of owning life, turning the planet into private property, has to be the fundamental wrong of culture maybe. Private property in all ways serves powerful private interests/laws/contracts/practices keeps all human in line as those with power/money continues destruction of all of life's entire planet. This makes humans the monster destroyer of all life, including of their own species. Life seems past a point of flourish in any mass area on the planet but, maybe not pass point of returning to a flourish. Derrick my mom use to tell me, "be observant" over and over to imprint it's importance. So crow was good lesson and thanks for passing it on. Reminded me of my mom. Thank you for this Layne, and for this chance to hear Derrick. He is a like a slow bleed in a good way. Even just 10 minutes of attention span on anything he says will plant a seed. Thank you to you both.

Derrick Jensen’s work and activism challenge conventional thinking by emphasizing the profound yet straightforward concept that "The Land is Everything." He critiques Western society for its emphasis on progress, consumption, and dominion over nature, arguing that this has led to a fundamental disconnect from the land. Jensen views the land as a living entity, essential for meaningful existence. He highlights that this estrangement results in environmental devastation, ecosystem degradation, and species extinction, extending its impact to social and psychological realms, fostering violence, despair, and meaninglessness. Jensen aligns with thinkers like Mencius and Tertullian, advocating for a Deep Green approach that emphasizes a renewed, respectful relationship with the land based on interconnectedness and reciprocity. www.koreaittimes.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=132253

What a great surprise to find this conversation with Lierre and Melinda. Thank you for this. I'm a supporting member of WoLF and care very deeply about all the issues discussed.

Wow. This is what K-pop should be. What an amazing dance

Good interview. You got him to cover some new material

I was aware that not all EV cars were covered in the Inflation Reduction Act, but I hadn't fully processed that as about China. It is interesting that they are looking at other rare earth minerals to patent for batteries too. It isn't surprising, but it is still disgusting that Europe is back to colonialist tricks and using its power to set up trade agreements that hurt countries that have resources that wealthier countries want. How can we solve any of this until we get away from capitalism?

About knowledge and whether people know more today than they did 1000 years ago (or whenever), I think the average "amount of knowledge" per person is not very different, but I think we as a community have vastly more knowledge today. The way this can be true is that, if you pick two people at random from the global community today, you would expect there to be less knowledge overlap between them than there would be if we picked two people at random 1000 years ago. At that time, most people (especially within a smaller community) could be expected to know very similar things and not much besides that, but today people are more specialized in a larger variety of fields. To put it another way: If today you pick a 30 year old farmer in Indonesia and a 30 year old venture capitalist in Sweden, you would expect _far_ less overlap in knowledge between them than you would between any two 30 year olds alive 1000 years ago. So while the "amount of knowledge per individual" is not very different in the two cases, the _combined_ knowledge of the farmer and the venture capitalist is much larger than the _combined_ knowledge of the other two. This is presumably one way in which communities get both more powerful and more fragmented in modernity-because there is less knowledge overlap between its members, but their combined capacities keep expanding.

Really well done Deanna

Tim Garret a Physicist has 6 peer reviewed papers proving that civilization is an Heat engine, no matter how it is powered. Green capitalism or renewables actually hasten our collective entropy. We’re Done:(

Hi , can someone tell me the work that Lierre mentions at around 20:55 just after she tears up? she says "and maybe i read xxxxx too many times as a child ...." curios about it, because if it shaped her as a child , i would want others to read it too thanks

I think most people believe real ecological progress to be “utopian”…..but we have the Amish communities and the like to show us a way forward. We don’t necessarily have to adopt the religious/spirituality of Amish folks, for instance, but we could analyze technology like they do. They are not necessarily against new technologies, they just council with each other about the merits of each new technology up for debate. It seems very purposeful, yet organic/natural.

brilliant discussion too bad it always leads back to extinction.

The Republic of Information! Great image. Participatory global commons. Great!

I do have solutions

iT appears that you do not comprehend the true nature of the United Nations. Look into their peace keeping forces, accused of thousands of cases of rape, there was investigations, and no prosecutions, no accountability. IN addition, their role in the great reset and in agenda 21 and agenda 2030- they are an instrument intended to have purpose towards the new world order, a fascist totalitarian police state of 500 milion survivors planned. This kind of ignorance is not conducive to real leadership. Mistakes to be made are very important. You also don't seem to have a grasp on the depth of evil that we face, and its deliberate subversion using the media

One of the major topics today, and social concerns, is technological determinism and its effects on societies and individuals. In this discussion, Ryan Maboloc responds with his ideas on current topics in the philosophy of technology and how we are affected by rapid technological changes, particularly digital systems that we use in smartphones and social media. Questions include “What is the contextualization of technology?” and what is meant by “People-centered technology?” www.koreaittimes.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=114497

I would recommend to the host to use a simple lavalier microphone. They are cheap - like $15 - on eBay. Otherwise your audio is muddy and echoey.

Questions Layne: [I will give a description of Half-Earth and ask for an initial response.] E.O. Wilson writes, “we thrash about, appallingly led, with no particular goal in mind other than economic growth, unfettered consumption, good health, and personal happiness. The impact on the rest of the biosphere is everywhere negative, the environment becoming unstable and less pleasant, our long-term future less certain” That’s an accurate view, except the “we” is about 5-8% of people and all led by industrial capitalism; the advanced technical societies are small compared to the rest of the human and animal population, yet create tremendous havoc. [I can leave this for you to say] Then, Wilson goes on to offer a solution or Half-Earth, which is to move the Earth’s population of human beings to urban centers and let nature restore the planet. One of the great science fiction writers, Kim Stanley Robinson, wrote in an op-ed piece “People tend to like cities, and have been congregating in them ever since the invention of agriculture, 10,000 or so years ago. That’s why we call it civilization.” He goes on, “Cities emerge from the confusion of possibilities as beacons of hope…If we managed urbanization properly, we could nearly remove ourselves from a considerable percentage of the planet’s surface. That would be good for many of the threatened species we share this planet with, which in turn would be good for us because we are completely enmeshed in Earth’s web of life.” Stanley says we ought to do this because “people are leaving the land and moving to cities anyway.” Your initial response to this “emergency response?

I like Derrick a lot, but I think it's a tactical error to attack "industrial capitalism" when it's "industrial civilization," or simply "civilization" that's the problem. Derrick even gives the example of his socialist acquaintance who displacing indigenous people to build a bus. One reason I say this, besides thinking it's true, is that when I talk about civilization being unsustainable to my rightist friends, they are open to it, it makes intuitive sense when pointed out to them. But if I were to criticise the capitalistic aspect of it, it immediately raises their guard, and DERAILS the conversation into one of rightism vs leftism. Otherwise great talk!
