Human Rewilding in the 21st Century — Book Trailer 4K
Available on Amazon
www.amazon.com/Human-Rewilding-21st-Century-Anthropologists/dp/B0CPDDD9GC
Synopsis:
Responding to recent critics from academia and the progressive Left, this book presents Human Rewilding as both a political platform and physical praxis that dismantles the agendas of both the Left and Right as solutions for adequately dealing with our 21st century socioecological crisis.
Using anecdotes from both personal experience and his own decades of anthropological research, including significant time with indigenous hunter-gatherers, Van Lanen situates rewilding as a philosophy of profound anthropological importance and contemporary relevance. He explains that rewilding is an impetus rooted in core, far-reaching, anthropologically profound, evolutionary, historic, ethnographic, spiritual, and philosophical human motivations. He informs how postmodernist cultural anthropology, and the politics which drive it, concerns itself with upholding the values of progress and western civilization very much more than it concerns itself with upholding the socioecological elements that made so many indigenous cultures exist within the most temporally stable and ecologically adaptive formats known for our species.
Van Lanen explains that rewilding’s critics who ignore this anthropological reality join nearly all the sociopolitical analyses of our current era - those originating both from academia and popular politics, whether politically Left or Right - in not being sufficiently confrontational with the material evolutionary forces that have brought us into the dire set of crises our species and our planet now face.
He warns with potency that modern techno-civilization is a dead-end path for our species and our planet, and exposes how, as long as “progress” continues to be the operational baseline, the status quo politics of both Left and Right are equal dead-ends for humanity.

She says ten years. Its been ten years weve been focusing on climate change in canada hahahaha. Were being taxed to reduce polution except its keeping the suns rays from being blocked. That and the world does all the sciency stuff its always done
Wow
Excited for this next year!!!
BRO ITS BEEN 7 MONTHS
I remember growing up in Moose Pass in the 1970s when it would regularly hit -30 and stay that cold for what seemed like months. The ice on the lake would pop and the sound would echo through the valley.
Dude, i am su pumped for this to come out
Someone who honestly believes that people did not kill each other in the Paleolithic era or as homo sapiens is someone who is enjoying the idea of a false narrative.
Well you are just stating something that is very obvious. What's also pretty obvious, unless your'e wearing a foliage hat, is that there were no nations and merely even tribes of peoples in those times. Pretty obvious that's John means when saying they weren't killing each other the same way people do in modern times. Genocides, atrocius wars etc.
he trails off into the unsymbolic....that is the start of the conversation.
You nailed it!
The black flag, the negating spirit, the daring audacity. These are the symbols and tools of our Genuine Freedom.

My first impression of Alaska was my mom and I driving up the Alcan to live in Seward, spent my first year of school at Seward 1981 and went to school with one of the Estes sons at Seward, can’t remember which one but over the years I would make my weekend trips from Eagle River to Seward to fish for silvers and stoped at the Estes famlied general store and restaurant ! Great memories!😉😆

See you are uploading video to your channel ok but your video views are very low. The main reason for this is that your TH-cam channel is not optimized. Your TH-cam channel lacks optimization. The benefit of TH-cam channel optimization is that if you optimize your TH-cam channel, many people will find your channel in front of the search results and the TH-cam algorithm will bring your TH-cam channel in front of people, then people will watch a lot and you will get a lot of views and subscriptions. This will increase the amount of activity on your TH-cam channel
Я КОММУНИСТ-АНАРХО-ПРИМИТИВИСТ! СЛАВА ДЖОНУ ЗЕРЗАНУ! ВСТУПАЙТЕ В МОЮ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКУЮ ПАРТИЮ! СОЗДАДИМ АНПРИМ ДВИЖЕНИЕ!
Ана́рхо-примитиви́зм (сокращённо Анприм) это направление в анархизме, основанное на критике истоков и достижений цивилизации. Примитивисты утверждают, что переход от охоты и собирательства к сельскому хозяйству дал начало расслоению общества, принуждению и отчуждённости. Они являются сторонниками отказа от цивилизации посредством деиндустриализации, упразднения разделения труда и специализации, отказа от крупномасштабных технологий.
Анархо-примитивизму близка концепция «золотого века», как установил Мирча Элиаде, подробно исследовавший эту тему, мифологема золотого века восходит ко временам неолитической революции и является реакцией на введение земледелия. Золотому веку неизменно сопутствуют мифологемы «потерянного рая» и «благородного дикаря». Этот архетипический образ лежит в основе почти любой утопической идеологии, призывающей вернуться к первобытному коммунизму. Кроме анархо-примитивизма существует множество других направлений примитивизма. Не все примитивисты обращают внимание на проблемы современной цивилизации. Некоторые, такие как Теодор Качинский, видят корень зла в индустриальной революции. Другие - в различных более древних достижениях цивилизации: появлении монотеизма, письменности, начале использования металлических инструментов. Есть анархисты, такие как Вольф Ландстрайхер, поддерживающие некоторые идеи анархо-примитивизма, но не считающие себя анархо-примитивистами.
При Анархо-Примитивизме не нужно будет работать, и учиться, круто! Просто собирай фрукты, овощи, мясо, шашлыки каждый день, кузнечики, охотишься, занимаешься земледелием, веселишься, круто!
Приручение жизни, это процесс, который цивилизация использует для инкорпорации и контроля над жизнью посредством своей строго упорядоченной логики. Приручение - тенденция цивилизации к ассимиляции всей остальной вселенной для того, чтобы сделать весь мир одной колоссальной упорядоченной предсказуемой системой. Механизмы приручения включают в себя: семья, школа, работа, призыв а армию, религия, деньги, культура, музыка, наука, искусство, литература, пословицы, поговорки, модифицирование генов, школьное образование, тюрьмы, запугивание, принуждение, вымогательства, обещания, заключение договоров, регулирование, порабощение, терроризирование, убийства и т. д.
Примитивисты склонны считать разделение труда и специализацию фундаментальными и противоречивыми проблемами, имеющими решающее значение в социальных отношениях внутри цивилизации. Они считают отход от способности заботиться о себе и обеспечивать свои потребности, техникой разъединения и лишения смысла, увековеченной цивилизацией. Специализация рассматривается как явление ведущее к неизбежному неравенству влияния и подрыву равноправных отношений. Разделение труда, пример: Уборщик зарабатывает 200$, а лётчик 10000$, неравенство! Всё профессии должны быть равны, и труд должен быть исключительно добровольным! Даже если человек не работает, ему должны давать жильё, питание, и всё бесплатно!
If only people would take individual responsibility for their own learning, rather than being turned into corporation fodder by the political classes in "education" system.
don't you think education would be beneficial if not orchestrated by the state? i agree that people should take initiative/individual responsibility, but at the same time people only know what they know. if they don't see problems, it's cause the problems weren't taught to them. i think we need to imbue pro social beliefs into people at a young age to see the large scale social change we want, and that def starts with education imo.
I'd have a much better time taking John seriously if he lived naked in the woods.
And in exactly what forests can you live that way in America? The ones that’s are government property or the ones that are private property?

i dont think hes a hypocrite and i dont disagree with his conclusions but you cant turn back time, the only way to create the world he wants is force, fascism if he lived the life id respect him more, i have, its miserable, cold, damp, disease , we didnt create art we created cider and drank a lot of it to keep out the cold and make the boredom pass, and when youre quarentined for 3 months after a hepatitis A outbreak a lot of time passes, slowly. if you decide glasses made by a machine are necessary well so are a whole lot of things, if he and some friends want to go off and live the life all power to them, but its a larp, itll always be a larp because you cant univent things, you cant turn the human mind back to 20, 000 bc neurons grow due to stimulus micro evelution is always happening, those people are gone, we need a socialism for the 21st century not the 21st BCE @@komicsreviewer8505
Can anyone suggest a way of living that destroys the environment, creates massive poverty and misery, enslaves people into jobs, divides and alienates people, destroys human communities, and places everyone under totalitarian surveillance, that people will go on endlessly defending just to get attention in a comment section?
Is it the stone age that he thinks we should structure civilization on ?
Anything pre-farming. He says everything went to crap when we started farming.
@@komicsreviewer8505why? Industrial soceity ruined everything. Farming based life was good.
The agricultural revolution basically turned humans into being more territorial defending their piece of land against any other prospectors. This would be a stepping stone into humans turning towards nation state-living. Further on as more nation-states was founded eventually conflict came along and after that the way of living just turns into a darwinian nightmare.
Congrats Bjørn! I have loved watching your films! I've learned so much.

I'm pretty sure John opposes the Neolithic revolution.
Who does he mention at the start who wrote about the original affluent society? Marshall Solon?
Marshall Sahlins maybe?
Marshal Sahlins' The Original Affluent Society is the essay he refers to. It can be found as a stand-alone essay but it is included in a remarkable book titled Limited Wants, Limited Means, edited by John Gowdy. Highly recommended: islandpress.org/books/limited-wants-unlimited-means
Man, I would love to have the opportunity to talk to him since I am doing my Phd on Primitivism. Does anyone know any way to get in contact with him?
*7-minutes of mindLess Yadda BLABBA BooobLeah*
he has an email on his website i think
What have you learned so far, out of interest? Would love to hear your ideas
He's probably sitting in a nice cafe in Portland, just whining about everything
We got a PHD student who cant figure out how to get someones email adress. Real genius here.
We are interconnected with our sources of food. Just part of the ebb and flow of the nutrients in the system. I hope that we can be salmon people again, just as he says! Thank you, Bjorn.

The message is clear -- the people have respect for the salmon, they don't overfish, take too much, they participate in the cycle instead of dominating it. Wonderful work.
Right then, so where did the neo-liberal incursion into Far Left spaces come from? I'm increasingly believing Breadtube was some kind of controlled opposition thing.
