This clip is about facing, not denying, the unique dire character of our times and finding out what it says about us and requires of us. But also it is about what it is about our species that we -- of all the other species here -- are the ones, the only ones, that would bring about such a possibility. Just what is it about us that could allow us to so violate our home as to make the death of us all possible? This is something that somebody should be addressing, don't you think? I will begin that here. Come along, if you dare. But this is not for those who would prefer to keep their heads in the sand and to sleepwalk through life. Certainly that is part of the reason that we could get to this pass; but it is doubtful that such people, in such deep denial of the signs around them, would be able to hear what is here being brought to light. But if instead you are of the type that would wish to look fiercely at the truth, no matter how horrifying it might be, and to truly witness and be awake in these most fantastic of times, then listen up. There is much here to see, and so much of it the mainstream would never touch for fear of creating a panic. Still, to survive, our species must face our problems, not look away. And there is a nobility in doing that, which is unlike any kind of noblility or heroism that has been asked of our species before. I hope, for the sake of us all, that you are one of those heroes, for we will need many in order to reverse our current downslide into oblivion.
