The talk — BIL 2015 Vancouver
Waste is an illusion! A fiction we created to increase prosperity! What a marvellous thing! Imagine people holding up signs at a protest calling “Save the garbage!!!” The Whales would be proud. Waste is indeed an elusive construct of the mind. A very useful social and economical tool. I invite you to explore how emerging science of mind and of addiction can interpret and inform what waste actually is.
