Speaker 1 (00:11):
What to do when it becomes too late for humans
to correct their behavior? Author researcher, professor, and climate change
expert David Hawk says such a question implies a need
for change, and herein an argument is presented that humans
believe in their own immortality, but a price is paid
(00:32):
for support of that belief. Humans protect themselves from change
via culture, and it's implied changelessness. As summers bring intolerable
heat that increases and storms that eliminate insurance companies, humans
began to think of change. Please welcome the host of

What to Do when it becomes too late?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
David Hawk, Hello, my friends, enemies, countrymen, aliens, whoever happens
to be out there. I appreciate very much your being there.
(01:20):
Very sorry about last week I was being unfaithful to
you and messing around with a collection of doctors and nurses.
At this time, I was having the first of two
operations relative to my gallbladder. They went in and removed
a somewhat autonomous organism that was supposedly spreading diseases around
(01:47):
my midsection. Next week, at this time again, I won't
be here, but the following week I'll be back. Funny enough,
maybe they don't like the show because they've scheduled the
second operation during the time of this show and can't
seem to move it. So I will not be here
next week, but I'll be here the week after, should
(02:10):
the operation be successful. Let's hope it is. Next week.
I guess they will make four cuts in my stomach
and remove the entire gallbladder because it created this funny
organism that was certainly not a stone. And I did
(02:31):
ask for the hunk of meat they removed, but they
wouldn't give it to me. I'd been calling it Donald
throughout the day, and the head doctor was shall we say,
irritated about me calling to Donald, so I guess we
know who he voted for. Anyway, I have to get
(02:54):
rid of these funny organisms in me. Okay. Thus I'll
miss next week and sorry, and hopefully in two weeks
we'll be back on a roll and I should not
have interruptions for a couple more weeks. Eventually, we're going
to close down the show, but let's try and wrap
up a few things first. Thank you for your patience,
(03:17):
Thanks you for your kindness and your humanity. I appreciate
it much. Today we'll begin at a rather high level
overview of why and how it's too late to avoid
the consequences of climate change, no matter how world leadership
characterizes climate change as a hoax, etc. World leaders in essence,
(03:41):
to continue leadership want to keep you smiling, happy, stable,
and of course obedient to their rulings on the definition
of good life. So in essence, you are to simply
obey and follow. Unfortunately, it has very little to do
with either slowing down, avoiding, or even preparing for climate change.
(04:05):
Although I have pointed out in a number of forms
that if you think life with Donald is becoming difficult,
it's a good preamble for what life will be like
piece to be climate change. It's an introduction to pain
and sorrow. Anyway, today we'll end with a cover image
(04:26):
of the new book that you've helped me write, Prepare, Make, Create,
and save that to the very end. But remember that
book is called The Climate Is Changing Ken Humans, and
the implicit in the contents, the implicit answer to that
(04:47):
question is no, seems like humans cannot change. But anyway,
the book, at about four hundred and seven pages, covers
an awful lot of the material we've covered in this
series and so I really want to tell you more
about the contents next time. First image, let's go back
(05:08):
to it, shall we say? Higher, lower, more soil view,
And keep in mind, this is the context. And as
I said again and again, without context, there's no knowledge,
no understanding, essentially, no nothing. You need to know. Context
you need to appreciate or react to or somehow deal
(05:31):
with context. Otherwise there is really nothing about nothing. So
this is my context. This is a center part of
my farm in Iowa. And you can begin to see
the pond down there, and just to the right is
the house in that first little building that goes up
(05:51):
from the pond. Anyway, this is called the Center for
Corporate Rehabilitation, and that is the context for this show
for the last year of our discussions. Next image, police
to in essence. This is the facility, which we sometimes
(06:12):
call CCR. On the eleventh, I have a group of
maybe twenty thirty people from various countries coming here to
spend five days for symposium relative to a number of issues,
but mostly about the distinction between analysis and synthesis. Analysis
(06:35):
is based on parts and taking things apart and learning
about parts as cause effect. Thinking. Synthesis is having to
do it putting parts together so you can understand the connections.
So synthesis is about connections, analysis is about parts. Over time,
I think you'll find synthesis and what's called system science
(06:58):
is more and more valuable. Analysis will be less and
less valuable, but still quite humorous cause effect is quite
quite good for humor anyway. Starting on eleventh, we'll be
having a meeting of various people more or less living in,
staying in, and holding meetings in this CCR. Next image please,
(07:24):
and in essence, one of the important attributes of this
farm is not that we make much money on it.
In fact, we tend to lose a bit every year.
But I and my sister really adore nature, and if
nothing else, we're getting the farm to turn back to
its rightful owners, called the Indians, which of course never
(07:44):
believed they owned it. They were simply renting it during
life leasing it. They did not own land. So in essence,
we are preparing this for something more natural. This is
thirty acres of plants, roses, flowers, bees and other creatures
that are needed for agriculture. Quite crucial. Next image, please,
(08:14):
and now we go inside the facility itself. This is
on the lower floor of the four story structure. And
this is the floor that's known as the Faustian floor.
Remember we talked about Faust. Faus was that funny person
in fifteen fifty that negotiated with the devil on selling
(08:36):
his soul from the long term in order to have
short term gain of being very intelligent, very smart, lots
of degrees, beautiful clothes, access to great women, et cetera,
et cetera, all for the price of his soul. And
so you know, who knows if there's a soul anyway,
So he sold the devil the soul and that was Faust,
(08:59):
and the story of Foul as endured since fifteen fifty.
And this floor is it's a rather dark part of
the facility, no windows, and it's quite similar. When I
designed it and build it, I wanted it to be
something like Plato's allegory of the cave, where you go
into the cave without sunshine, sunlight, sources of life and
(09:23):
begin to question who and what you are and where
you're at. And of course then you can reflect in
some depth on the difference between short term gain and
long term pain, which is the essence of the climate
change problem. And as it becomes more and more too late,
you will learn more and more about what long term
(09:46):
pain means due to the short term gain that you
have achieved. Anyway, best of luck on that thesis. Let's
move on to the next image. Also at a rather
high level, talked very much about the environment around humans
(10:06):
in that matter over mine has a big impact on
how you think and what you think about. I tend
to forget about mind over matter, which is what mostly
schools are based on. How the mental capability can be established, improved, enriched, etc.
(10:27):
So then you can control matter in your life. I
never quite understood that, and I'm not very happy with
human responses to controlling matter. Which is your right slide.
So the right hand side is very much to do
with this idea of cubes and locking people up in cubes.
(10:47):
If you recall back early in Greek days, the cube
was invented as a way of locking people up and
trapping them in something where they learn obedience. They learn
to be more humble, obey the rulers as they sit
in their cube. It's very much like the early jails,
(11:09):
the early prison, and indeed that's carried over into the
design of most living spaces. And workspaces an eye on
the other hand, On the left hand, I like very
much the idea of getting beyond the cube, allowing nature, light,
life into the facility, so you can negotiate with life
(11:32):
while you're in these things that humans build. This is
a very important distinction that we've carried throughout these lectures
or these meetings. So keep this image in mind. Next
image please. Next one is number six. Ah good. In essence,
(12:14):
number six has to do with the distinction between Earth
and Venus. I think we'll forget about this favorite planet
of Donald's ally that makes electric cars. So, in essence,
Venus is quite an interesting planet. We don't really need
(12:36):
the picture. In essence, it's an outline of two globes.
One is a Venus and one is the Earth. And
what's bother some worrisome. What allows you to better understand
it's too late, is that Venus used to be a
lot like the Earth they have found it. Indeed, it
(12:56):
had oceans on it, and it had landscaping on it.
It was not all that different than where we now live.
But now Venus has a surface temperature of eight to
nine hundred degrees, ocean's gone, plant life gone, it's simply
an oven, unlivable for all forms of life that we
(13:20):
know of. And lo and behold what caused that was
the build up of coeal two in the atmosphere of Venus.
So where does climate change come from? What is this
gas coeal two? Yeah, So, if you'd like, if we
(13:41):
go to sleep tonight
