    A counter perspective from a small farmer to an otherwise engaging talk:
    1) The reference to the past being so encumbered with struggles against disease and hunger, is certainly well warranted, but realize that humanity has had thousands of years to adapt to their native environments. There are lots of successful civilizations that sprung up in harmony with nature, with each individual having a vast , multi generational knowledge of the flora and fauna near them, as well as the ways of living healthy and avoiding illness and predation. Not every picture of the past needs to be beset with bronchitis and famine, many primitive cultures lived in abundance, health and had lots of leisure time.
    2) You’re guest describes a future where farms are all centralized, save a few amateurs here and there, while the rest of the world is put in conservation to avoid,” Being trampled on.”
    This is a perspective endemic to academics who have spent too much time in their office and not enough time in careful observation of nature.
    Humans, with the proper knowledge, do not trample or destroy their environment, but interact with it. We are a part of nature and, can increase the biodiversity through regenerative agricultural practices. Decentralization of agriculture and the education of how to do so is key to invigorating the now dead and abandoned American countryside. Many environments have been so damaged by abuse that simply leaving them in conservation will result in a thicket. Humans are capable of stewarding the land to a point where it would be more productive then if simply made a place for tourism.
    Nature is not meant to simply be visited on vacation from the city, it is our birth place, our womb and our common heritage.

    • @Rollpepper

      This is why they want people packed into cities. Hunters, fisherman, (conservationists) only take what they need to survive and they respect the land and the harvest. The powers at be dont want people to be self sufficient because then they aren't consumers, they are conservatives and if you're not consuming you're not spending money and are therefore dangerous to their business model. You are 100% correct my friend, the majority of people have lost touch with the land and they want everything instantaneously and thats unnatural.

    Listening to the story of an example home of the past near the middle, and thinking on how things have gotten better, I was reminded of a recent conversation with my in-laws. Both grew up poor in the 50s. Mom-in-law had two dresses made out of sackcloth, Dad-in-law often hunted squirrels to help with dinner. I told them about how, on the other side of the US, my mom grew up on a farm with seven siblings, had an outhouse until the 60s, a metal tub they dragged in once a week for baths. Grandpa and most of my ancestors in this region grew up in log cabins made of the logs they processed as a business (some still do today). My great grandparents would be amazed at what my family has had at it's poorest. I don't remember Mom ever buying herself something nice, but we had electricity, air conditioning and heat, indoor water and bathrooms, were able to avoid deadly childhood disease, have usually had enough food even if not always the best. I have no resentment toward those with more, only gratitude that I've lived a better life than probably all of my ancestors.

      Both are brilliant, but better as interviewees IMHO. Would love to see a skilled interviewer, say Dave Rubin, moderate.

      PROPAGANDA , gas lighting , FEAR, distractions, dumbing down , brainwashing, DIVISION , all in order to create compliance and agreeable people by the millions= falling in line, right down the path to TOTALLY CONTROL over ALL of US!! Just look at all the masked people giving up their businesses for a ""scary virus""!!

My uncle is 90, he is quite okay..What's to be scared of? Rats, they want it all. They are not satisfied with all the money and power they already have.

    Concerning the decline of absolute poverty (which is good), it needs to be said that it goes at the cost of the middle class and the group of poor people on total is also growing, while the amount of people with middle incomes are declining(which is bad).

    I love Matt Ridley’s books. They created a huge interest in me about biology and zoology (Genome, The Red Queen, The Origins of Virtue, Nature via Nurture,...). Watching him being interviewed by Jordan was such an unexpected and delightful surprise!
    Now looking forward for a podcast with Yuval Noah Harari.
