war violence injustice poverty politics
economics and religions are failing to
raise the human condition so that all
people have the basics of food clothing
and shelter let alone access to health
care education and opportunity to thrive
there's food enough for every human
being on this planet there's water
enough for every human being on this
planet we do not have scarcity we have
selfishness you need to come back to
economy as the art of living of taking
care of the earth not taking from there
[Music]
[Music]
scarcity consciousness is a human-made
concept when you look at the creative
forces of the universe there's abundance
everybody deserves to be treated as an
equal from an economic point of view
from a political point of view economics
which Aristotle defined as the art of
living which is what we should be doing
every moment of our lives has been
reduced to what he called chroma taste 6
the art of money making politics has
become more narrow these days it is
really with power rather than reflection
of what the community wants what they're
doing is not economy it's really a war
against the planet war against humanity
the rules of the game systematically are
favoring more and more those who have
the wealth to affect politics
and you have it in many countries the
rich very very rich and getting richer
and you have the poor getting poorer
that's not right they get elected
they're thinking of well what's the next
reelection who do we owe something to
and this is wrong if the next generation
doesn't step in to shape the vision of
the world they want to live in we will
default into becoming a society whose
values I believe will not reflect the
majority of people living in this
country as the Tale of Two Cities would
indicate it's the worst of times in the
best of times it's the best of times
because we have every bit of technology
that's necessary to actually you have a
quantum leap to build the kind and just
global society we all want to live in is
the worst of times
unconsciousness fear doubt and worry all
of that is running amok within the human
condition allowing the ego to take over
politically ooh have bigger and bigger
and bigger weapons of mass destruction
that we could actually cause our own
extinction
[Music]
I can't read love each other why can't
we work together without justice without
peace without stability without ending
poverty without having a good health
having a good education we will not
achieve the strong society that respects
democracy you get involved not by
fighting the darkness to get involved by
putting on the light people think of me
Who am I am i important do I have value
can I do something every person has a
miracle in them and we're capable of of
working in harmony with the universe
with with the environment with nature
with the balance of it all across the
threshold of love God and so I think
we're at on a precipice of tremendous
change either for the ferp affirmative
or for more destruction I'm holding for
the affirmative
[Music]
