{PBJFlorida} Paul Hawken: An Uprising: The Global Crisis and Our Response

I find this Paul Hawken video (below) very informative and well  worth the time...  Another piece worth discussing.

I especially like what he has to say about the "dark age" we are currently in; and how it results from our profound disconnectedness from each other and from nature.

Also worth pondering is his view that "hope" is a narcotic for numbing the mind and for taking us out of the moment.  He says that hope is a mask of fear and keeps us from facing the dark realities of our time.

AND how no one of us knows what to do, BUT thinking together we may find a way through...

Lets discuss.  Please comment.
