00:10The way we are approaching the climate crisis is just not going to succeed because we are
00:17thinking that it is primarily something to do with the planet, with carbon dioxide, with the
00:23oceans, with the glaciers. We want to say, oh, you know, the pollution is somewhere out there.
00:29No, no, no. Man remains inwardly as desperate as he ever was. We have destroyed the planet.
00:37The hope is that destruction will somehow plug that inner hollow and that inner hollow has not
00:44been plugged. We will have to change direction and that has to be a historical U-turn because we have
00:51never done that before. But then this crisis too is of a magnitude that we have never seen before.
00:56So if we are not prepared to look within, if we think that education is all about knowing about
01:03this and that rather than the one inside, you can have great intellects, you can have great institutions,
01:10you can have great academic models, you can have great research, you can have great technologies,
01:16but all of them will become food and fodder. We can have very efficient professionals who are still
01:23very, very ignorant within. And that is the curse of the planet and that is what is pushing
01:28us to our probable eventual doom and device.
