This talk by David Holmgren focuses on the impending doom of the climate crisis and the inevitability of degrowth in a positive light. He has a very hopeful vision of the future, as with his various futures scenarios he also has future responses. These are a command economy, a violent revolution or a third option of resilience in a permaculture practise. By leading through example, and living a more fulfilling and abundant life, we can gain a greater sense of autonomy and others will follow. As an anarchist he talks about moving away from this dependence on centralised governance in which shouting for change is easy to ignore, and simply taking it upon ourselves to build the world we want, which is coincidentally a much more enjoyable way of life.
