first three paragraphs (I read the first 2 in the video):
"The relative success of the human endeavor, measured in terms of population and technological mastery, has been won at the cost of widespread suffering for much of the rest of the community of life on earth. Life is not just a quantitative affair, but is everywhere striving to deepen the qualitative intensity of its existence. Industrial civilization has emerged amidst this vital striving, violently shifting the biosphere into the terminal phase of the Cenozoic era by initiating the first mass extinction event in 65 million years. In the deep geological past, saurian giants and cycads flourished where long stretches of highway now carry automobiles fueled by their fossilized remains. Should our species continue to ignore the psycho-spiritual wounds responsible for instituting and maintaining our ritualized techno-industrial sacrifice of future generations, we will soon find ourselves joining the dinosaurs.
This essay is my attempt to reveal the metaphysical causes and energetic effects of industrial capitalism such that its inhumane and ecologically ignorant foundations are brought fully into consciousness. Consciousness is our most creative human capacity; but in its fragmented and anxiety-ridden deficient mental mode, it has become the agent of the most powerful strategy of thermodynamic gradient dissipation the planet has ever known. Should human consciousness fail to awaken in time to forestall the inevitable conclusion of the industrial process, not only will capitalist profits continue to be squeezed out of the alienated labor of workers and commoditization continue to homogenize cultural expression, but earth will become a toxic wasteland eaten alive from the inside out by the mechanical transformation of extropy into the fetishized value of money and use-and-dispose consumables.
The emergence of life on earth around 4 billion years ago can be understood as an expression of the same natural tendency to dissipate free energy that is driving the extractive economy of industrialism. The complex activities of living creatures on earths surface work to bring the extreme temperature gradient between sunlight and space toward equilibrium by radiating back more heat than would an inert planet, as per the 2nd law of thermodynamics (p. 46, Margulis, 2002). The industrial organism has brought this process of gradient reduction to new heights by technologically freeing exergy trapped in places no other form of life could reach (like hydrocarbons and radioactive elements). But as has been learned from the many identity crises to come before on this planet (i.e., five prior mass extinctions) more of the same leads eventually to extinction because conditions are always evolving: humanity must mutate or perish. Our industrial presence to the biosphere represents a deficient and so unsustainable relationship between mind and life, culture and nature, humanity and earth."

Sorry for talking so much, but I wanted to say so many things! I'd really like to thank all of you for watching me over the years, for listening to my voice and to my music and for all the strength and confidence I've received from everyone. I'm going to be 21 in a week! As always, check out my blog (which I usually write in both English and Japanese! But recently I've been lazy) at http://ameblo.jp/c-cedille/ and c.cedille's first album 'en lecture' is available on iTunes and Amazon MP3 internationally, and if you want a physical copy I highly recommend YesAsia.com and Amazon Japan. Cheers!

Boy I am glad you posted this.
I already gave up, civil war will come, and it won't be my f"£$^ng fault so leave me the F356 out of it. and no talking about this does not make me a domestic terrorist so mi6 stop tracing everyone and do some f£$^ing work.
Reminds me of Traffic Wardens who have no idea about the law and have the power to penalise people.
Petty Napoleons.
So in actual fact the guy who was misunderstood about the government's intentions was in fact right.
Pity the comments section of your video has been disabled.
I think that idiot police officer thought he was in China. I hope he's been sacked, but I honestly doubt it.
