    A very distraught and distracted view on civilisation. It's a well made short video with great production values - but the biggest potential value of all is a message - and the message is a stream of inaccurate whine and cliche that cant be backed up.

    He lost me at 0:42 when he mentioned "evil corporations" but I kept watching the video. I closed the window in disgust when he started talking about cancer. What a moron.

    I'd place my bet on a lawyer dad and a dentist mom.

    That is a very interesting video to watch. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do after watching it. Should I quit my job? Grow my own food? Stop voting at state and federal elections? It's a bit of a negative presentation in many aspects. I choose to think differently. I wake up in the morning and thank God that I''m still alive. I'm healthy. I have my family and enough money to pay the bills. etc. The country that we are living in might not be perfect, as no country is perfect. They all have their share of political, economical, health, environmental, societal, etc issues, but I'd rather be living here than in some war torn region in another part of the world.

    That was exactly what thought about after finish watching it, I asked my self, OK so what is the solution ? what we do next ?
    But after thinking about it a bit more I realized that to think that the world we live in is sucks will not help me with anything I want to achieve
    in my life for myself or my family...

    Still I find this point of view interesting because, there is very significant amount of people all over the world that see the world as described in this video !! and this alone is something which is worth knowing and consider.

    Thank you for presenting me a video with German subtitles.

    "OK so what is the solution ?"
    There are none. The launched processes especially regarding the environment does not appear to be reversible.

    "what we do next ?"
    Waiting for the first water wars in Africa and military escalation between China and Japan/USA in Asia-Pacific region. Both should begin within our life span in the next two decades.

    There is a simple solution.. Go pack your bags and head to the Amazon and live how you feel.. Take a look at your neighbors... How many of them would be savages, if it were not for the element of control? Ok there is Free then there is FREE... if noboday had accountability and took what ever peice of land they wanted.. then someone else would come over and club them for what they have.. What we have at the moment is a general mutual understanding of how things work.. There was a time when you could trade a goat for a wife.. there still is in some places-- but we are human beings.. which can sometimes be cruel "even in 2015.. certain countries still live this way!
