to use the blessings that have been

bestoved upon us

and we're going to pay a price for that

Human beings are inconsistent and paradoxical

we hope for peace and immortality

but continually invent new ways

to destroy each other

we're capable of the kindest most noble acts

and the most horrific atrocities

Human beings are complex creatures

We're capable for right now

at this minute in acting in such a way

as to make it likely if not certain

that our grandchildren are

going to face terrible disasters

and we're consciously acting to

accelerate that likelyhood

even though we all love our grandchildren

How can it be more contradictory than that

In spite of all the economic activities of

the last 50-70 years

since the World War 2 and all

the industrialisation

we have not yet managed to

solve the problem of poverty,

depravation, hunger or malnutrition..

Millions of people, every night

go to bed without food

and millions of people are throwing

away their food.

Waste on one hand, and poverty

and depravation and hunger on the other

Malnutrition on one hand,

and obesity on the other

What kind of system have we created?

Why with such brilliant knowledge

on the planet

are we still struggling to distribute

wealth fairly?

How has the human race developed

a flawed system of

government and economics that serves

the few at the expense of the many?

And with such poverty in an age of plenty,

why have we not

the will to change such a vicious structure?

Greed is the fundamental kind of

ingredience for the immoral economy

The problem is not that there's

not enough in the world

people say that they have poverty,

that we have to create more wealth

"There's enough in the world for everybodys need"

as Mahatma Ghandi said

..."but not for anybodys greed".

But is it just greed, or does it go deeper than that?

Is the problem systemic?

As a civilization, we've obviusly had a great run

we've had the industrial revolution

having survived that

we built a lot of modern military technology

we've survived that so far.

We built a banking system,

and we're still struggling with that part

We've got a good run...

It's kind of like when

I was working at wall street for 7 years

I had the experience some people would have

that we're working in a

meat processing plant...

...they become vegetarian

When you work on Wall Street and

you see how the banks make money,

you see JP-Morgan... ...when you see money,

it kind of makes you sick.

I think if the people knew what

the banking system is up to,

as Henry Ford said

there would be "a revolution tomorrow morning".

The fact is most people think is,

what a bank does is lend money that
