Crossroads

documentary

Cautionary piece on the choices mankind faces at this moment in time. We seem to be heading toward wholesale destruction based on the value system predominant and the over-emphasis placed on competition in the last several hundred years.

There are other modes of thought...this film argues that those in the middle, worldwide, could begin to shift their thinking until a tipping point in numbers is reached.

Lots of psych brought out here...also examples from nature. It will take a lot to change things but there is a deep undercurrent of dissatisfaction/unease burbling beneath the surface. Many (most?) sense that things are out of whack, that the lives we live don't satisfy, that stuff and its accumulation doesn't work.

Pie in the sky? Perhaps...but this is the best presentation of these ideas I've seen so far.
