Film “Home” on Youtube - Full Length Movie about the Planet Earth and the future of life itself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU
I’m not sure how long it will be available but its a pretty incredible movie to go into such clear and simple detail about all the intricate inter-relations between processes on earth and how those relationships go all the way back to the earliest life forms, our ancestors which still live and love today through us and their more direct descendants.
Fun Facts To Check Out (not all in the movie)
- All of the earths crust was formerly living which captured the carbon from the atmosphere and trapped it in the crust. Earth is layers upon layers of micro life forms who still live today through us by nourishing life from plants and beyond.
- If the carbon had not been captured from the atmosphere by these life forms we could not exist today.
- Blue Green Algae was more likely than not your great^greatest grandmother/father.
- What you did in a past life as a Blue Green Algae or the first insect or spider is what brings you the life you have today, the pinnacles of what you were able to achieve as more simple forms lived on to more complex forms and later you. You are as old as life itself but not as experienced.
- Our ancestors are both great and small but even the tiniest lifeforms are driven by the same basic things that drive you, and find solace in the same things as you, albeit they are arguably more simple and pure.
- Humans are a horrible menace whose desire for their lives to be simpler and easier have failed to see outside of their easy bubbles to the larger effects of their boring controlled and simplified existences as subservient consumers to people who do not have the foresight deserve support.
- Power is seen by humans as a mechanical or technical force, when real power is in the tiny insect who innovated themselves into something new. You can not force innovation to occur, you must want it on every level, and it is hardship and awareness of imperfection that drives innovation most of all.
- True innovation is seeing outside of the box of the system of what is taken as the most technically advanced solution, and to come up with a completely different solution, devoid of all the limitations of the current oil dependent system which the rich and powerful would love more than anything to keep us locked into, happily complacent and non innovative in mood.
- Our current agricultural system is more of a drain on the earth than can be sustained. This is largely because biological food type waste that humans produce is wasted and never makes it back to the field. Instead they use synthetic petroleum based oil dependent fertilizers to support their genetically weak condition specific identical genetically modified corn and other anomalies that can survive against the specific chemicals they are coated with, which they then feed us either directly or indirectly through animals, which do not inherit any exotic or innovative traits.
- All of this to support more human population on earth than earth was ever designed to support or sustain. Oil is used to mechanistically force more out of nature than the environment on earth can support.
- Oil itself is a former life from whose grave is disrespected and drained for the fool-hearty non-respectful of the future of life on earth gains of the rich few.
- Oil is a desecrated grave that no one can claim ownership over… to purchase oil you are merely paying for them to transport it because you can not own oil itself, merely contain it, and burn it wasting 80 percent or more of the energy that life has stored into the substance.
- Modern humans are not technically advanced enough yet to actually make the most of oil. By the time we are advanced enough to use it with 100% efficiency on some task that would benefit life itself (not just humans) to truly respect the life forms that died to go into the oil, the oil will more likely than not be gone.
- Any task that oil is used for that the life forms who died to go into the oil would not themselves choose to do with their own lives is just as disrespectful as flying planes into the twin towers, which was more likely than not a plot derived by those who wanted to gain more influence over oil overseas.
- Using fossil water and other subterranean aquifers to sustain an impossibly huge and impossibly unnatural amount of Human life on this planet that is only possible through Oil is almost as bad as wasting oil if not worse for the future of life. The system will collapse on itself for good reason, because it should not exist in the first place! I must say if peoples lives are disrupted they should welcome the change.
- Clinging to an impossible lifestyle will only serve to diminish your capacities to deal with the realities that lie in wait.
I’m only 40 minutes in! I did watch the first 20 minutes twice though. If you find any other pertinent points. Its getting increasingly disgusting I can’t wait to flesh out the list more.
The worst thing is people have no idea how much earth means to them! If they do not value earth, they do not value and respect earth, they do not value existence itself, and arguably should not exist at all!
There is no way earth will survive without decreasing human population and returning to a more simple and healthy life style in tune with nature, where we can achieve our full potentials living healthily and happily in harmony.
In the last century half f the worlds marshes were drained and their richness stolen or otherwise killed. Trees themselves are being suffocated by human disruption and mismanagement of water and mismanagement of forest resources failing to allow time for proper regeneration between harvests and failing to maintain forest heath by removing diseased trees caused by these tough conditions before they can spread. These removed trees themselves can serve as a valuable resource in many different ways!
Fake systems that rely on pumping are not sustainable and unnatural, and dangerous because of the misunderstanding of what it takes to set up a sustainable natural system out of the humans forcing everything instead of learning from nature and respecting the system that is hundreds of thousands of years older than any human has ever had the time to observe and experience!
If we were to ever manage to leave earth and try to exist in space, without the rich biological playground that is earth, we would be at a severe disadvantage in finding rare substances and cures to the new diseases that will emerge in outer space.
Without access to the historic planet relic that nourished us in our infancy, we will lack knowledge about our history necessary to understand our place in the universe, and the beautiful inter relations that are possible between very radically different life forms. Earth more than anything teaches us about the importance balance that can not be replicated synthetically in as deep or as meaningful of a way.
Almost nothing is more important the connection to our roots and our past because these provide the best clues to what we can do today to advance beyond the mess that is the current state of the world.
The most important thing is that earth is cared for more than human existence itself , not that we can’t play an important part in healing the earth if we start to manage our population growth.
To loose or damage earth and to loose so many valuable species and life forms due to human influence and negligence would more likely than not leave us all extinct. Our chances of surviving in space without millions of years of careful testing and respect of natural process are effectively zero.
To exist in the future and not be able to come back to earth and feel what it is to truly be alive and part of a larger system would almost certainly doom our chances of solving this universe. To think that all we need are people, and that if we only have each other we will be fine, was never true.
All of the resources we need to solve these problems by increasing awareness about the problems is in the hands of only 2% of the population.
The stupid people reproduce more than the smart ones? The urge to survive is overcoming rational thought about the future. People have kids and let them deal with the problems that lie in wait…
As the system collapses, and food runs out, and wells dry up, chaos will ensue (this might not be in the movie). Chaos should already ensue now! A chaos driven to do one thing only and that is solve these problems before it gets so bad that society collapses and all the starving people take to arms and pull you and your family limb from limb so they can live just a few days longer than you.
Oil will never sustain human population or life on earth. Oil usage must be abandoned for cleaner alternatives that leave less impact and have more organic benefits.
The more population increases the more oil we need and the faster we will be forced to come to terms with the problem. Overpopulation MUST NOT be used as a tool to come to terms with the problem as it has been.
The people who control most media networks fail completely to convey the danger that faces us because as long as we keep buying and splicing ourselves off the more money the corporate sponsors make. The more people they can keep complacently trapped in the system the more money they will make, but the end result is you will be both abandoned by them and poor, and without any natural process to fall back on, extinct. The only solace in this fact is the rich people who have done this to the planet will also be extinct!
By 2030 1/4 of earths species will be threatened with extinction! (~1:03) This figure does NOT do justice to the countless species we have already rendered extinct! Species which if around today may provide the clues that we need to solve other problems we face, NOT that we need any more help solving diseases, as they may be the only hope to fix human imbalance on this planet.
People must be stopped! The Arrogance of Humanism (Galaxy Books)
is a great book depicting this religious plague that spreads the false notion of human superiority or infallibility which are not true! There is no way that this arrogance will serve us to live in harmony on earth or anywhere in the galaxy for that matter. The use of technology to solve our problems is shortsighted and blind to the fact that our systems that we build today can not be sustained without constant human intervention and repair. We are almost so distracted maintaining and replacing or earning money to replace our devices that we have failed to care and repair the earth.
“The planet is an indivisible whole, and asset we share” (1:07) Action that does not account for the effects on the future of the larger whole that is all life on earth is criminal. Every day you drive to the store and buy things you are facilitating these criminals to steal your future.
The problem is not going to get resolved without severe human intervention to all of these problems but that intervention must be careful that it does not do more harm than good. Simply dong better than today is not enough for tomorrow! Every day we must innovate to advance beyond our current limitations or we will certainly meet an end.
A one child limit per couple would only serve to reduce the population problem if life expectancy remained constant. (9 billion humans in the film) cia.gov (2008):
6,706,993,152
Given a fixed 80 year life span, and a one child each birth limit the population can be cut in half every 80 years… it would still take 1600 years to reduce the population to a more manageable and reasonable level. This means we would have to kill people after 80 years though. Plus by the time we even reach the first 80 years from today it will be too late, since the problems we face are coming to fruition within a few years at best. The smartest minds in the world are killing themselves ( DFW
) and the poorest are reproducing unstoppably facilitate by the greedy rich whose money does not prepare them for what we face.
The future of earth if we continue as we are gong today will be scorched completely by the very sun that has gotten us this far today (”no one can predict”…).
Cool facts start at about 1:16 like flash cards would be great to transcribe here if that’s allowable or someone has these!
Military endeavors pollute as much as everything else in the world (guessing, but seriously consider this and all the levels and all the explosions and the efficiency of the engines that run the massive tools of war), while education does not have any harmful effects and gets less than 10% of the budget and exact figures are always better than guesses… if they are accurate.
Clean energy alone will not save us, but its certainly a start!
Well that’s as far as its buffered now, at 1:24 of 1:28. View the Film Home on YouTube while you have the chance! Its available on BlueRay for those who want the best quality and will be available on DVD soon: Home [Blu-ray]
and there is also a book available: Home (book)
I will definitely be updating this post! Anyone who would like to help or contribute will be much appreciated!
