Derrick Jensen spoke at Binghamton University on September 21, 2008.

derrick jensen on jensen civilization law et al

notes/quotes from 2:43 min video:

22 min – any way of life based on use of resources won’t last.. truth is.. resources don’t exist.. because ie: trees don’t consider selves resource.. really important.. if perceive world as made up of resources.. something to use.. rd laing: politics of experience.. how you perceive world affects how you behalf in world.. if see trees look at dollar bills will treat it one way..

26 min – i’ve been bashing civ for 15-20 yrs.. and with this book i figured i better define it.. civ: a way of life characterized by growth of cities.. city: people living in numbers large enough to require importation of resources.. 2 things happen as soon as require importation of resources: 1\ way of living can never be sustainable.. 2\ way of life must be based on violence

jensen import law et al

54 min – can’t bash science, bhuddism, and over population (i think overconsumption is a bigger problem)

1:38 – on asking river what is it like to be you.. i realized that is the fundamental question.. what is it like to be you.. i realized i had never asked anyone that question before and no one had asked me

1:39 – what the stream said:

2:10 – one of first things to do is to normalize our despair..

skimmed most of it (for now anyway) since still watching 3 others and reading 2 of his books..
