The test is simple.  If you understand the strong implications here, you are intelligent.

If you think he is wrong in any way, well.. no need to elaborate :-)

Enjoy!

was indeed very interesting..

hmm, cool :D  and interesting :D

Very interesting and also very, very scary. We are already beyond the 59th minute...it's freaking me out, man.  But any number of interpretations can be taken from this!  Media - especially the internet - is a platform for strong ideas to be put forward.  But put in the wrong hands (considering many have internet access) these ideas can be very, very dangerous indeed.  I hope no-one takes the "wrong" interpretation of this.....

Really makes you think, doesn't it? Very interesting and quite frightening. But what frightens me the most are my own thoughts here: what am l going to do next; Talking about it on queenzone? We're all hypocrites. Or at least I am.

Yep, we all are guilty.

But creating awareness is a very good first step.  Send this video around to your friends and there's your good deed for the day.

David Suzuki is regularly slammed by ignorant people, but he is one of the most important minds ever to walk this earth.  Anything he has said in the last 30 years can be taken as gospel.  The man knows what he's talking about, and I'm proud he's a fellow Canadian.

I submitted the most common reply - am I intelligient ?  :-)

I really do not understand why growth is still regarded as a value in itself. We all should have realised by now that economic growth does not give us higher income, better health care or more soclal security - it only brings higher profits for the big companies and the banks and worse environmental damage. Shame on the scientists who take the money from the petroleum industry and deny the severe consequences of the industrial growth for the environment.

But there is no scientific proof that we even need the planet, is there?

It's really good to see some scientific argument in favour of environmental responsibility.

My fear is that some people will think that this is getting more at population growth and go on the rampage....

I like David Suzuki, however to presume that those who criticise him (he's not perfect) or disagree with him relating to growth must be ignorant is absurd, not to mention that the premise of this thread is incredibly arrogant.

Right, because being tolerant of ignorance is what's going to solve problems like this...

I think the problem here is that most aren't "ignorant" to the situation, they just don't care.  It's easy to educate people, it's not easy to change attitudes.

No the problem is that you think you have the right to judge other people's intelligence, thereby starting a thread based on the premise that if people don't agree with you they must be ignorant (and if one doesn't take everything Suzuki has said as gospel one must be ignorant), just as you think you have the right to judge their morality.

Oh god, not this again.

If someone cannot grasp the concept of exponential growth (grade 8 math), then yes, they are not intelligent.  Those who do not have a grade 8 education probably aren't going to be our leaders who show us the paths to environmental sustainability.

If you agree with Suzuki, then great, we're on the same page.  But if fools are going to disagree with him on this, then they're welcome to show why exponential growth isn't real and explain what their alternative reality is.

Good point, Thistleboy.  Very good point.

I couldn't have said it better myself 'Oh god, not this again.' It's a waste of time talking to you. Whether it be about musical expertise, vegetarianism, religion, the hijab, or this; you never change.

The fact BTW that you would write 'Oh god, not this again' proves yet again that you aren't interested in a discussion, as discussion would involve alternative views!
