Derrick Jensen. "We are the members of the most destructive culture ever to exist. Our assault on the natural world, on indigenous and other cultures, on women, on children, on all of us through the possibility of nuclear suicide and other means -- all of these are unprecedented in their magnitude and ferocity."
So began his first book, Listening to the Land. Why do we act as we do? What are sane and effective responses to outrageously destructive behavior? What will it take for us to stop the horrors that characterize our way of being? His work and life revolve around these questions.
Jensen spoke at the 2011 Whole Earth Festival Speaker Series at UC Davis. Listen to his discussion in the audio player below. Download the talk here.
