Overshoot & Redirecting Our Civilisation

Frank Rotering of Needs & Limits:

'As a species we have reached an unprecedented situation: we have filled our planetary niche and now risk ecological collapse. In this two-part video I present my perspective on this predicament and what it implies for our civilization. The first part describes the general task: constraining our biological drives and moving into the conscious era of history.'

Part 1: overshoot, the transition from the biological to the conscious era, redirecting intelligence



Part 2 addresses the specific problem of moving from capitalism to a sustainable economy
