I Hope That I Piss People Off By Posting This.

Every now and then, I enjoy getting perspectives from people who on some level I agree with, but on most levels are so wrapped up in their beliefs, that I would rather run a mile rather than be in their company. Such was the case last night when a friend through the Disinformation company forwarded me this lecture/tirade by a fellow named Derrick Jensen.

Derrick is a self professed anarcho-primitivist who feels that we are killing the planet. Yeah I know, we've heard this song and dance before. His lecture/tirade is filled with interesting ideas, humor, insight, revolutionary leanings and pathos. I'm not too sure how much of what he says I agree with, but at least when he speaks, he makes it hard for me to dismiss much of his points.

One thing is for sure though, this lecture/tirade is guaranteed to piss you off in some way. Perhaps some of it, perhaps all of it. Maybe you will agree with all of his points, maybe you will agree with none of his points. But I implore you to give at least a half hour of your time to this video. If you so desire, the second part of the video is available through Google video as well.
