Hello friends! I'm excited to announce that our short animated documentary "The Great Simplification" will go live on Youtube Premiere this Thursday morning May 19, 2022. And, Thursday evening from 6:00-7:00 pm US Central time, I'll host an online reception
Very interesting! Your movie vocalizes many of my own thought that have occured to me, especially in recent years. I've also now listened to several of your podcasts, including a recent one with Dr Rees that I found especially interesting.
One aspect I haven't heard you address is the negative population growth mechanism as vocalized by Hans Rosling e.g. https://youtu.be/FACK2knC08E How would you fit that mechanism with you systems hypotheses?
Also not addressed is the use of nuclear energy technologies. Granted that merely delays the inevitable "great simplification" but surely it lessens the effect of the "carbon pulse" we are currently experiencing.
Finally, the movie does not, nor do any of the podcasts I've listened to, address what could replace our current monetary system. Is there any solution to our innate predisposal for valuing the immediate future more highly than some possible future? What does the system approach suggest?
