Jem Bendell - Deep Adaptation

As Dr. Bendell notes, there will be a tendency to want to reject his conclusions in Deep Adaptation since to accept them is so life changing in its repercussions. [Rated PG-13] For those who want a visual summary of the science behind Deep Adaptation, first watch    • Scientists' Warning at Foresight Grou...  .

We feel responsible to provide some orientation and emotional support to viewers. The subject is quite serious, with the 'collapse of civilization' in the relatively near term seemingly unavoidable at this point. We urge viewers to follow Jem's advice in the video, namely, to use it initially as a 'thought experiment,' that is, something to consider it as a matter of 'what if'.

IMPORTANT: This is NOT an excuse for doing nothing to alter our catastrophic trajectory. It is not a reason to abandon our values and indulge in hedonism, apathy or denial. The complexities of the future cannot be summarized meaningfully in words and images. Even if the 'collapse of civilization' is unavoidable,' HOW that plays out is still very much something we can influence with our collective commitment, wisdom and actions.

PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO WIDELY with mature audiences that includes the kids who are ready to handle it but not the really young ones. So we are voluntarily classing it as a PG-13 rated video.
