Dr. Nate Hagens and “The Human Superorganism”

I remember with great fondness the interview I conducted with economist Nate Hagens, Ph.D., as a key part of my second book (Is Renewable Really Doable?).  Nate had invited me to a day-long meeting of the Aspen Institute, and we spoke over lunch.

The whole session turned out to be a unique experience, as I’ve never in my entire life, before or since, been exposed to so much top-level thinking.  As I told him when I left during the closing wine and cheese, “Thanks so much for everything, Nate, but I need to catch a train, and besides, my brain hurts.”

I was delighted to receive an email from him yesterday, in which he introduced the video series he’s been working on.  Here’s a part of it that blew me away, “The Human Superorganism,” which explains the plight that human civilization finds itself in, in terms of economic theory.  I hope you’ll check it out.
