    I claim no rights to this video; I mean only to open an avenue to the thoughts and ideas of one Southwestern warrior-poet.

    Absolutely based, Humanity has been undergoing a period of radical de-evolution since the creation of agriculture.

    Trump just decided to shrink Bears Ears by 85% and Staircase-Escalante by half. We must stand up to this.

      go to the DOI or BLM auctions where the gov is selling mineral rights and bid, then cancel the bid later. That will at least delay the sales of these places.

    Pair this with the current World Economic Forum’s summit going on this week in Davos.

    Very good. I think about that when I recently became interested in the archeological discoveries of Gobekli Tepa in southern Turkey. Those staggering stone assemblages had to have depended upon some sort of inducement (maybe by threat or force) to expend such incredible amounts of human labor in order to find, haul, and impose design features on the slabs we see today. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe it was a different motivation. Nevertheless, such an undertaking would necessitate some sort of social oversight; some very compelling inducement. I can't dismiss the possibility of forced labor, of some sort. Human history is replete with such things.

    5:30 I always wonder whether man first learned to enslave other man before he enslaved the animal. Humans are quite adept at enslaving their fellow man without even realizing it. It takes much more thought to enslave other species who perceive things differently than humans which leads to lots of cross-species misques. I work with teaching people to train and work (enslaving/using slaves) with horses and the biggest issue is getting them to see things from the horses perspective. I think it likely that people learned to take advantage of each other before they started applying the same lessons to animals.

      Thanks for your observations. I would like to add that We also want the animal to think like us, instead of the other way around .

    mad scramble for scarce resources, is recognized as greed.
    Recognizing the possibility of generosity, the opposite of greed, is the stirring of virtue; made possible by the presence of greed .
    Greed: an institutionalized form of survival.

      Greed has always been there but technology amplified its destructive power. Abbey was too quick to blame "them" instead of us.
