Metastatic Modernity #9: Recipe for Disaster

This is the ninth in a series of 18 short videos aiming to put modernity (another word for civilization) in perspective. In terms of cosmology, evolution, biology, ecology, and time, modernity is highly unusual and inherently self-terminating (i.e., fated to collapse). Eventually, a cancer metaphor is used to describe the tumor we witness growing out of control, spreading to all parts of the globe (metastasizing) and initiating a sixth mass extinction. Humans are not the cancer, but the infected organ within the community of life where the cancer took root. This ninth video asks how we landed ourselves in this unfortunate meta-crisis. Three key steps are put forth: agriculture, science, and fossil fuels. Nobody planned it, but here we are!

Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:12 Sudden Destruction 00:32 Step 1--Agriculture 01:58 Step 2--Science 03:10 Step 3--Fossil Fuels 04:23 Hockey Stick Gallery 05:45 Ecological Hockey Sticks 07:10 Fossil Fuel Spike 08:05 The River 08:56 How Should We Live? 09:59 Closing and Do the Math Corrections: 01:05 I have no idea why I slurred "construct"—might need to see a doctor... 03:38 Now I'm pronouncing "transcendence" oddly, for some reason. Definitely seems like the cheese is slipping off the cracker... But I'm not interested in re-recording just to make myself seem more polished!
