His talk (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/paul_maccready_on_nature_vs_humans.html) speaks of a nature vs. humans battle and very very sadly - Humans are defeating nature.Humans are not winning however. There can be no winners in this battle, save nature, and Save nature, is the one thing we will not do.
All the kings horses and all the kings men, however many PhDs they have between them, and however many compelling presentations they make, will not be able to turn around the disaster that the industrial revolution brought about.
Mortality rates, world health and other such civilised issues are some of the prime examples of how "civilized" behavior will destroy our civilization.
Perhaps I'm in a doomsday mood but all this information and knowledge that we all share globally is fairly worthless in the larger scheme of things. Its good to understand the eco-system with, but it works to destroy the very eco-system we exist in.
Since its all coming to a close, we might as well get in another drink - I'm buying.
