Jem Bendell Live in Byron Bay
Professor Jem Bendell, founder of the Deep Adaptation movement, was recently in Byron Bay as part of his world tour promoting his latest book "Breaking Together: A Freedom-loving Response to Collapse". I had the honour of sitting down with him and interviewing him live with our community. Jem speaks directly about the dire state of the climate, facing and being transformed by despair, the clear shortcomings of transitioning to "renewables" and many other things.
All proceeds of this evening went toward his regenerative farming school in Bali, Bekandze farms. Anyone who wishes to further support his ongoing work here and in other ways can donate here . jembendell.com/can-you-support-me-to-write-these-essays/

    I think the biggest problem is the rapid increase in the world population. More people means more consumption of resources, which translates directly into more destruction of nature. The problem is enormously complex. To reduce the population growth, if that's even possible, would mean a reduction in economic growth, which would translate into economic stagnation. Free markets thrive on positive growth, ever increasing numbers of consumers, and a steady increase in supply. I'm a retired economist, and as far as I know, there are no models that define negative growth. We are, economically speaking, trapped into expansion. And expansion means more destruction to natural resources as we consume our way into oblivion. More people, more cars, more houses, more farmland, more machinery, more factories, and much more complexity and uncertainty. Sad to say, I believe that we have already passed beyond a solution to climate change. It can only get much worse. Extinction is a real possibility. Nature is going to reduce the growth in our population one way or the other.

    Honestly,,, we seem absolutely determined to keep addressing the wrong issue whilst expecting results,, ,no matter the conversation we have on what to do about climate change,,,, As long as that is our main focus we are actually avoiding the mechanism that made such oversight possible to begin with,,,, ,Our mentality approach reasoning and values,,,, The very same mechanism that brought us to this point has just as much potential to be detrimental in other ways, that are currently less spoken about thus less of an immediate threat... but that doesn't mean they aren't also gaining momentum... If we keep looking at the effect as the issue, whilst ignoring the cause, we will end up trying to tackle a really long leaking pipe with lots of holes by placing our hands over each jet of water... If we are using the same mentality to tackle the results of our shortcomings as what caused them, in doing so we are retaining a purpose for the very same mentality that made such things possible to begin with,,,, which is an example of pure raw stupidity isn't it?????

    Problem: The majority of people, deep in their primordial DNA, want to attain the highest standard of living, to attract the best mate and assure the optimal success of their offspring. This is fine if you're a chimpanzee, but if you're engaged in mining, drilling, logging and manufacturing, competing on a finite sphere can only lead to one outcome, a fight to the death with thermonuclear weaponry.

    If you want to change any trajectory such as plutocracy, resource consumption, inequity, ecological degradation, etc - you are generally going to have to go into some sort of degrowth approach, rein in consumption, reduce monetary or power profiteering. However, it just doesn’t happen, and probably never will. It’s not that humans can’t live simpler lives. It’s more about groups of humans that always involve conflicts around resources and power. Look at any period of human history and it involved a group or groups of people that were developing new technologies and using them to increase their access to resources and power/control. I’m kinda fatalistic now - the future struggles for power and resources will take us further forward technologically and change us politically to a future that basically nobody can predict. Probably best to accept that life can be interesting and just do the best you can.

    I am in complete agreement with people and programs that try and protect the environment. But these has been my thoughts too. What are humans supposed to do with their trash and waste exactly? We can't all live out in the wilderness like ancient people did. We have to have a roof over our heads, clothing, heat, air conditioning, food, and some means of getting around like automobiles. Living on this planet is a paradox. There is no exact answer for our waste!!! We burn it and it pollutes the air. We bury it and it can contaminate the soil. We throw it in the ocean and we kill the wildlife there. So there is NO right or correct solution. I am 75 years old and I have seen such horrible changes to the weather, insects, birds, and wildlife. When I was little our whole wooded acre was full of lightening bugs - thousands of them at night. Not any more. When I would get out of school in the late afternoon I would sit out on our back porch eating cookies and having a Coke while watching thousands upon thousands of migrating starlings fly from east to west over our heads. It was spectacular to watch!!! Those birds are still around but not in such great numbers. We used to have spring peepers frogs screaming their heads off in the springs when I would walk home from school - they are completely gone now. We used to have Bob Whites singing and calling up and down the street. All gone now.

    "if we were in a sane culture there'd be grief rituals every week or two in the center of the town". I so agree, unfortunately, in this insane culture and in the area where I live, I couldn´t even find helpful grief counseling after the death of a loved one. So you are left on your own because friends and family usually don´t know how to help you grief, either. Everybody just expects you to get over it fast.

    The problem is the disconnect to nature. It doesn’t matter what system one uses if the intent is right relationship with the balance of nature. That’s the whole point of the video, and while it’s an easy concept to understand it’s not easy to practice and enforce in reality. We created industrial civilization to solve problems, cure illness, and make life better. Sure there’s greed, but if you think the whole thing is evil just because of this outcome or larger consequence then you’re missing the whole point of it in the first place. In order to be in right relationship with nature some people should have died that didn’t, some people shouldn’t have had access to air conditioning and clean water. Sometimes nature kills you off because your traits aren’t beneficial to the species, and sometimes because you get an infection and you just die. Humans wanted to help humans but also conquered other types of humans…there’s every spectrum of pain and suffering. Just remember that there’s good intentions too. Remember it’s more than just black and white. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

LEARNING IS EASY LEARNING IS JOY LEARNING IS REWARDING Just imagine… IMAGINE Imagine your child who would push seeds down in the soft ground, cover them with soil, and all the while watch plants grow. Child will harvest the crops in the fullness of time; crops are brought to the table where meals are prepared and consumed. Rounding this off, the same process is repeated time and over again by placing what is left over back on to the ground to nourish the soil. The educational value of all this would be immense. One seed at a time, one step at the time, one word at the time and you unfurl the world. THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL LEARNING!

    When I was a child in 1960s Western Colorado, there were big cones of insects flying around the streetlights at night, with bats by the dozens skimming through and getting their fill. Now, there are only a few scant insects flying around, and only a few bats-literally only three or four at a time-flying around and catching them. Also, I remember later driving my car for 30 or 40 miles, then needing to stop at a gas station to clean the bugs off of my windshield so I could see. Now, I only clean my windshield once or twice a month. The point is that all of the creatures we once had, only 50 years ago, are largely gone. We are in the midst of a foodchain die off, with the nutrient providers in fewer and fewer numbers. This leads to trophic cascades, where life is lost all the way up the food chain, because if there are no insects to eat, there are no birds to eat. I witnessed this within my lifetime, and I'm only 63.

    What is the problem? Eliminate it. Fine. Now, can we fix the ice? How far past is it for us? That's unfortunate that we allowed it to go that far but at the same time, if God exists He is in control. Maybe that essentially means we are no better off. Because we should not expect God to want us anymore. We must face responsibility. At the same time, enjoy life, love those who love you, be kind to others, create your own and appreciate each day. As much as you can. Because one day we all will have a last breath. I wish it weren't so. But, enjoy it, the sun on your face.
