Derrick Jensen interview for "Clearcut Nation" documentary

Clearcut Nation - the Movie

'Clearcut Nation' illuminates the decades of destructive logging practices which have been approved in the watersheds and forests of California--the watersheds that support all of the life in the state. It focuses on the Battle Creek watershed in Shasta and Tehama counties as an example, but overall is about how we treat, and relate to, the natural world. It includes interviews with author Derrick Jensen, botanist Julie Kierstead Nelson, PhD fire and vegetation ecologist Dennis Odion, PhD hydrologist Tom Myers, wildlife biologist Monica Bond, and rural residents who have experienced the vast changes to the land. This film is based on 8 years of research and field work, as well as decades of life experience in the wild lands of California.

Interesting author: David Grinspoon - Deep Ecology - How we can engineer our way out of global warming.

Yes, we are clever monkeys... We can figure a way to solve our own problems. Looking at our history over millions of years, we have figured out how to survive every time and it's likely that we will do so this time too. Geoengineering might work!

I saw him talk about his book at the Smithsonian Institute and his words were uplifting. Just because we have not come up with the solution yet is not cataclysmic because there are smart people being born every day. Maybe one of them will think of something new. Like a giant air conditioner that moves excess air pollution into space...

Quote from the Amazon webpage about this book:

For the first time in Earth's history, our planet is experiencing a confluence of rapidly accelerating changes prompted by one species: humans. Climate change is only the most visible of the modifications we've made--up until this point, inadvertently--to the planet. And our current behavior threatens not only our own future but that of countless other creatures. By comparing Earth's story to those of other planets, astrobiologist David Grinspoon shows what a strange and novel development it is for a species to evolve to build machines, and ultimately, global societies with world-shaping influence.

Derrick Jensen: Interesting Author and Environmental Activist Philosopher:.. Deep Ecology Thinker... Required Reading at Humboldt State University...

For years, Derrick Jensen has asked his audiences, “Do you think this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of life?” No one ever says yes.

Deep Green Resistance starts where the environmental movement leaves off: industrial civilization is incompatible with life. Technology can’t fix it, and shopping—no matter how green—won’t stop it. To save this planet, we need a serious resistance movement that can bring down the industrial economy.  http://www.derrickjensen.org/deep-green-resistance/

I saw him at the end of the movie "Stare into the Lights My Pretties" talking while wearing headphones/microphone online... He was making a Youtube Video about how we have to destroy the Computer Networks that have hypnotized us all... It really was Ironic to hear him USING THE MACHINE while recommending that we DESTROY THE MACHINE.

However, I Groked his message... If he stopped using the machine as an individual it would have no effect whatsoever on the coming destruction of civilization...

Great Movie: "Stare into the Lights my Pretties" about the cultural impact of computers and The Internet...

Great Movie: "Stare into the Lights my Pretties" about the cultural impact of computers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5qJjNM2Kx0

We live in a world of screens. The average adult spends the majority of their waking hours in front of some sort of screen or device. We're enthralled, we're addicted to these machines. How did we get here? Who benefits? What are the cumulative impacts on people, society and the environment? What may come next if this culture is left unchecked, to its end trajectory, and is that what we want? *Stare Into The Lights My Pretties* investigates these questions with an urge to return to the real physical world, to form a critical view of technological escalation driven by rapacious and pervasive corporate interest. Covering themes of addiction, privacy, surveillance, information manipulation, behavior modification and social control, the film lays the foundations as to why we may feel like we're sleep running into some dystopian nightmare with the machines at the helm. Because we are, if we don't seriously avert our eyes to stop this culture from destroying what is left of the real world.

“Surely by now there can be few here who still believe the purpose of government is to protect us from the destructive activities of corporations. At last most of us must understand that the opposite is true: that the primary purpose of government is to protect those who run the economy from the outrage of injured citizens.”
― Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization

“What if the point of life has nothing to do with the creation of an ever-expanding region of control? What if the point is not to keep at bay all those people, beings, objects and emotions that we so needlessly fear? What if the point instead is to let go of that control? What if the point of life, the primary reason for existence, is to lie naked with your lover in a shady grove of trees? What if the point is to taste each other's sweat and feel the delicate pressure of finger on chest, thigh on thigh, lip on cheek? What if the point is to stop, then, in your slow movements together, and listen to the birdsong, to watch the dragonflies hover, to look at your lover's face, then up at the undersides of leaves moving together in the breeze? What if the point is to invite these others into your movement, to bring trees, wind, grass, dragonflies into your family and in so doing abandon any attempt to control them? What if the point all along has been to get along, to relate, to experience things on their own terms? What if the point is to feel joy when joyous, love when loving, anger when angry, thoughtful when full of thought? What if the point from the beginning has been to simply be?”
― Derrick Jensen, A Language Older Than Words
