On Facebook, a friend posted a link this morning to a much-watched David Suzuki riff on exponential growth, bacterial reproduction and humanity's 59th minute:
That led me to sift for other video content on this issue of meshing human development and planetary limits, which I've explored here of course more than a few times.
I found "Malthus Miffed: Are People the Problem, the Solution, or Both? An Introduction to Demography and Populations Study Through an Examination of the World's Population":
The lecture, part of an online course from The Floating University, is a marvelous deeper dive on this question from my longtime source on all things demographic, Joel Cohen of Rockefeller and Columbia universities. (There's a transcript.)
The lecture is part of a fascinating course connecting "Great Big Ideas" with concrete issues (a joint venture between The Jack Parker Corporation and Big Think).
The end of a year is a good time to explore big ideas. I encourage you to invest 43 of the remaining minutes of 2013 with Cohen. If you're pressed for time, dip in for a minute or two.
