We’re Not Separate from Nature, We’re Made of It: An Honest Conversation About Soil, Carbon, and the Future of Humanity with Paul Hawken

And I've just been very fortunate to meet him. But to me, he's like an example of what's out there everywhere, from Uganda to the Sami people up in Norway to everywhere on earth right now, in Japan. I hear about and connected to or read about, informed about the things that are coming up. You know, it's kind of like after a fire. Had a big fire here in LA, okay. But watch what happens, you know.

The grass comes up, it's super green. Why? It's been fertilized by the ashes, right? So it's greener than normal. You get wildflower blooms that you've never seen before. You know, maybe not this year because of the dryness, but you will. And so forth. In other words, we are both the fire and the new growth at the same time, as opposed to being one, you know? And so that's my guide.

Yeah, right. Where did the name come from? It came from a book by Samuel Butler. And it was a 19th century send-up of 19th century England. And so it was a spoof, actually. And the... The main character in the book is shipwrecked and lands and he's climbing over a mountain range. He comes down, there's a whole city and people and so forth.

I mean, it's really New Zealand, but it doesn't ever use a name. And he goes there and he's just so amazed by what he's seeing. And then he's arrested because he has a watch on, or maybe, I don't know whether it's a fob, but he's got a watch. And he's thrown in jail. He said, well, what did I do? He said... We banned machinery. We banned it here. Machinery enslaved people. And that's beginning.

And then people go to the colleges of unreason, and they go to the colleges of unreason to learn ways of talking that only people in the colleges of unreason can understand. If you didn't go to the college of unreason, then it's just garble. You can't communicate to anybody else, and so forth. And on and on again, it's a send up of England.

And then changing my diet and boom, in nine days, I could breathe again for the first time in my life without aminophil and ephedrine, without a drug. The first time I could feel air at the bottom of my lungs.
