So what do you oil dependant people think about this?
« on: July 15, 2008, 04:24:31 PM »
A purely factual series of films concerning mathematic science, growth rates and the world's natural resources.

And yes, it's worth watching all 8 parts of it, or what you post won't we worth the pixels it takes up.

Yeah, I know. Ignorance is bliss eh?

I like this quote: "Ignoring facts does not make them go away."

Certainly the case with most people, including the majority of this community.

With an average time length of 9 1/2 minutes per video I'd say

No. Its more like people dont feel like sitting through over an hours with of videos.

I may watch it later. when I have time to pay attention to something that long.
but with wife ack. kid ack. and life ack. That hour+ worth of videos will easily take several hours to watch

It really is a shame that it is so, because it is indeed worth your time, but I totally understand your reasons.

I'm not able to listen to it right now, but I automatically distrust anything that is presented to me right away as "Purely Factual."

Life experiences have taught me that "Purely Factual" presentations, rarely are.

This is a university lecture by a professor emeritus of Physics at Univ. of Colorado-Boulder, and you're saying it's not factual?

Allow me to question your judgement, and perception.

If you think that being a professor of something automatically makes them an expert and MOST IMPORTANTLY correct about what they are speaking, then you are foolish beyond hope.

I dare you to watch the film. Are you scared of what it might tell you? I find it amusing that you spend so much time on the boards posting about it that you could have watched the film instead and maybe learned something new. :)

Lazer,

When did a Phd in Physics transmute into a Phd in Natural resources ????? Did I miss something at Maryland in the physics department? Don't tell me this will turn into another: "because Al Gore said it it's true", or "we have to worship at the feet of Phd's because they are smarter than all of us combined". Sounds like somebody hasent been through a first mortgage or tryed to put 2 kids through Stanford kinda young and impressionable.

I will watch the film.  I'm just telling you that you're a bad salesman.
