In this 6th Age of Extinctions, the biosphere’s life-support systems that have allowed humans to ascend are collapsing. Visionary mycological researcher/inventor Paul Stamets illuminates how fungi, particularly mushrooms, offer uniquely powerful, practical solutions we can implement now to boost the biosphere’s immune system and equip us with benign breakthrough mycotechnologies to accelerate the transition to a restored world.
This speech was given at the 2014 Bioneers Annual Conference.
"Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.

bcglorfsays...Don't associate the term science with the bioneers. The bioneers are a group of mother earth loving hippies. I say that, because fully 50% of the bioneer presentations I've been unfortunate enough to hear on radio all revolve around the 'scientific' importance of respect for GAIA and mother earth. Regularly they will make the link with mumbo jumbo about quantum this or that. They are adamantly and vehementally anti-science and spreaders of massive amounts of deliberate and brutal ignorance.
Maybe this is one of the few actual scientists they've managed to get their hands on, but he did just talk about the 'earth's own internet', so not hopeful.

so ignore what the man is saying because of the platform given to him by a group you find to be "mother earth loving hippies"?
i am not going to even attempt to unravel that kind of twisted logic.
bcglorfsays...The vast majority of speakers I've heard on the bioneers platform have been, as I said already, staunchly anti-science. I was taking issue with the association of a science tag being connect with the bioneers. Don't know how that's all that controversial?

siftbotMoving this video to enoch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
