Great vid, how to summarize it? To me, the key was toward the end when Liu said that The Source, functional biological systems, are always greater than the derivatives, which we value with money (crops and livestock) but this is an error that compounds with each year. Wealth is living in Nature, not surrounded by chemicals and pollution. Well, you get the point, I hope. By all means watch and share it with all you know. Thanks for posting.

And, funny, but at the same time towards the end when hearing the "derivatives" comment, I thought of how flawed the logic is in the finance world.... It's not logical that the derivatives are more valuable then their source. That error compounds by the minute, it seems.

Im going to share this feature with others...

What is lacking is political support because there is no immediate profits to be made...and that is all that matters to the mover and shakers of today.

K&R and everyone should see this.
