the way you design the world in your mind is the way you relate to it in the real
0:15
world and when you design it as dead matter just to be exploited you will exploit it
0:22
when you design it without any understanding of limits you will violate the planetary limits
0:30
when you design it with deep recognition of interconnectedness
0:35
you will nurture those relationships and this basic recognition is what i drew from my
0:46
learnings in quantum theory that non-locality non-separation interconnectedness that is the
0:54
nature of reality but we have a design in the paradigm of mechanistic thought which didn't
1:05
evolve it was imposed that mechanistic thought is based first on the assumption
1:13
that we are separate from nature and nature is constituted of discrete particles separate
1:20
from each other who can only relate through violence through force through action by contact
1:27
in the quantum world there is no separability my thesis was on non-locality in quantum theory
1:34
everything is interconnected there are no fixed essentialized qualities
1:41
that have been built into the way people are looked at nature is looked at potential is the
1:50
defining quality in the quantum world and because it's about potential it's also about uncertainty
1:59
the mechanical world is based on a false illusion of determinateness eternity
2:09
in the quantum world we know we cannot get rid of uncertainty the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg
2:18
to this is linked to the fourth principle no excluded middle no duality no either or in
2:27
the quantum world it's and in the mechanistic world you can either be a wave or a particle
2:38
in the quantum world you have potential to be both and they're complementary when you realize
2:43
that the world is one interconnected whole you also realize that what appears different
2:54
is actually different expressions of an interconnected reality
3:03
for the first time in human history technology in the hands of the billionaires becomes the new
3:10
civilizing mission for humanity the illusions about the big technology firms is they create
3:22
they extract they don't create anything you know software programmers create the platforms
3:31
that they use even bill gates didn't really write his basic program it was some
3:38
professor two math professors in dartmouth college who did the basic program um they have
3:45
posited themselves as inventors when basically uh we've done a new report it's um because bill gates
3:54
announced a new project called aguan you know all agriculture will be one agriculture controlled by
3:58
him where does he set up the office of ag one in Missouri women's santos headquarters but we watch
4:06
what's going on in india and we pieced it together so basically he's financing a lot of data mining
4:13
from farmers which will then be packaged back as big data and sold back to farmers but this is
4:20
exactly what happened in your 2016 elections facebook sold data to cambridge analytica
4:28
so when you think of why are the kind of leaders that we have getting created it's very important
4:35
to remember that in these 25 years of corporate deregulation of commerce you basically have a lot
4:43
of money in the hands of very few people and they then are the ones investing in all the companies
4:50
the companies are not independent companies anymore they're basically billionaire money
4:55
managed by the investment funds like blackrock and vanguard etc they also know that everywhere
5:04
people are on the streets just look at this here show me a country where there weren't protests
5:12
Chile Beirut Hong Kong everywhere so how do you deal with the rising demand for a change
5:28
we throughout the east india company in 1857
5:32
the crown took over they established a policy called divide and rule
5:39
and then they started to divide hindus and muslims because hindus and muslims had stood
5:45
together to defend their land their livelihoods their freedom it took from 1857 to about 1920
5:56
for all kinds of means census uh fake identity because you know people in india would say i'm
6:04
a hindu and a because they they'd go to mosque and they'd go to temples and when they'd be
6:09
asked who are you they'd say i'm a gardener i'm a blacksmith for them the religious part was very
6:16
very secondary their occupation was their main identity the place where they came off
6:21
the community they came from and this took so long this is what led to our partition
6:30
and that partition is still being played out it's an incomplete project
6:34
so divide and rule becomes a necessity for the one percent to continue to hold on to power
6:43
what are the economic policies being pushed while people are divided
6:51
because that's really the agenda
6:56
in 1906 when this divide and rule and apartheid was being put in place apartheid hadn't been named
7:03
apathy then it was only named as a system in 1948 but in 1906 the british wanted to turn indians in
7:14
South Africa into second-class citizens so they wrote an indian act and indians had to carry had
7:21
to register on race and they had to carry their identities all the time and a lot of what's
7:27
happening right now in India around this identity issue is related to that history of the satyagraha
7:33
but most importantly any police officer could enter your house at any time and
7:39
demand your papers you couldn't trade locally you couldn't practice professions and so the people
7:48
said we would rather die
7:52
this refusal to cooperate with unjust law is what Gandhi calls as a duty as a duty of truth
8:00
he was inspired by thorough who refused to pay the poll tax here against the slave system
8:08
he inspired Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement is very much inspired by Gandhi
8:16
but it is when king started to take up the economic justice and economic equality issues
8:22
that's when he was assassinated because the parties you can talk
8:26
in very sweet ways about civil liberties but you don't touch economic justice and the economy is
8:35
for me it's a double violence because the origin of the word the meaning of the word economy
8:41
comes from oikos our home the aristotelian to tillian name is economia the art of living and
8:51
when you turn the art of living into the art of money-making which Aristotle called chromatistics
8:58
then you have to practice violence against the earth and violence against others destroy their
9:03
livelihoods destroy their freedoms take away their resources so the violence is multiple and
9:10
i look into the future i say why are we building detention centers everywhere in india along the
9:17
border of Mexico because i feel that if we don't activate our sense of interconnectedness with all
9:26
life with all people if we don't start sowing the seeds of what i have called earth democracy we are
9:35
going to see 99 people as disposable especially with the tech working on artificial intelligence
9:44
to make sure all the mechanical work is made redundant whether it be in radiography or law
9:50
or whatever mechanical work will be substituted and if that's the case 99 people are disposable
10:01
so you can either share this beautiful planet with love and abundance and sustainability or say
10:08
it's all mine every bit of land every seed every mind because what's being mined is our mind now
10:17
and if we don't defend the freedoms of all species and the freedoms of all human beings we could
10:24
see we're down 20 within 20 30 years a level of disposability built into the structures that human
10:31
humanity will not be able to respond to so this is the time to make oneness and interconnectedness
10:38
as one humanity on one planet the political project of hard times we have to remember we are
10:47
one humanity we are part of one earth and whatever we do we will not let this basic recognition
10:59
divide us either from the earth or from each other and together we are
11:05
strong
11:31
inspired consider this a quick reminder
11:34
god playing hide and seek my mission is to find everything
11:38
step by step as i walk through the valley in the shadow with death i fear no threat the earth is
11:44
the block out breath no fear when i step god steady clearing the dead i earned the respect
11:52
they only bring war but they try to call it peace then conquer the mark of the beast
11:57
oppression and control in the name of democracy
