1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,400
Blessed Unrest

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,480
How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being,

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,080
and Why no One Saw It Coming

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,960
It is my believe that we are part of a movement

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,400
that is greater and deeper and broader

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,200
than we ourselves know, or can know

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,560
It flies under the radar of the media by and large

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,292
It is nonviolent, it is grassroots

9
00:00:32,292 --> 00:00:36,265
It has no cluster bombs, no armies, no helicopters

10
00:00:36,265 --> 00:00:39,120
It has no central ideology

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,600
A male vertebrate is not in charge

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,270
This unnamed movement... you can clap for that... the unnamed movement....

13
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:50,960
(audience laughs and claps)

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,240
...is the most diverse movement the world has ever seen

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,294
The very word movement I think is too small to describe it

16
00:00:59,294 --> 00:01:04,426
No one started this world view. No one is in charge of it

17
00:01:04,426 --> 00:01:11,280
There is no orthodoxy, It is global, classless, unquenchable and tireless

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280
This shared understanding is arising spontaneously

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,800
from different economic sectors, cultures, regions and cohorts

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,760
It is growing and spreading worldwide with no exception

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,440
It has many roots

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:31,080
but primarily the origins are indigenous culture, the environment and social justice movements

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Those three sectors and their sub-sectors

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,960
are intertwining, morphing, enlarging

25
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,080
This is no longer or simply about

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880
resources, or infractions or injustice

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,000
This is fundamentally a civil rights movement

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,600
a human rights movement

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,360
this is a democracy movement

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,600
it is the coming world

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,520
What you're seeing here

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,920
is the beginning of a list

33
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,760
of the 130,000 minimum... organizations in the world

34
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,120
who work towards social and environmental justice

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,440
and that's the minimum.

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,040
It may be 250,000 groups, it may be 500,000 groups

37
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Read these names. They're unfamiliar to you most of them. I'm sure

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:31,440
We do not know how big this movement is

39
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,680
It's marked by kinship and community and symbiosis

40
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,040
It is pachamama. It's mama

41
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,200
It's the earth talking back, waking up

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,840
What you see is your kin on that screen

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,880
and to give you a sense of how big this movement is

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,880
if I had started this tape on Friday morning at 9am when this conference began

45
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,240
and if we sat here all day Friday, all night Friday, all day Saturday, all night Saturday

46
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,360
all day Sunday, all night tonight and all day Monday

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:24,800
we still would not have seen the names of all the groups in the world..... who we are

48
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600
It's so new, we can't recognise it

49
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,920
We're familiar with armies and governments and war and churches and religions

50
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,920
but this is...there's no precedent for what we're doing

51
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040
What you're creating is completely unknown

52
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,680
it is everywhere

53
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,920
there is no centre

54
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,360
there's no one spokesperson

55
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600
it's in every country and city on earth

56
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,800
it is within every tribe, every race, every culture and every ethnic group in the world

57
00:03:52,800 --> 00:04:00,360
This is the first time on earth that a powerful non-ideological movement has arisen

58
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
During the span of the 20th century

59
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,960
big ideologies were worshipped like religion

60
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
they dominated our beliefs

61
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,280
This is to speed it up so you don't have to stay here until Monday night

62
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,920
Big ideologies dominated... capitalism, socialism, communism

63
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,800
In the words of Ed Hunt, "ideologies stalked the earth clad in armour"

64
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,680
they fought for the control of our minds and the lands and it wasn't pretty

65
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,440
and we were told that salvation would be found in the domination of a single system

66
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120
This is where salvation will be found

67
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
We know that as biologists, we know that as community organizers

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
We know that as ecologists

69
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,600
It's found in diversity

70
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,080
This movement is humanity's immune response to resist and heal...

71
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,760
...political disease, economic infection and ecological corruption caused by ideologies

72
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,360
So it is up to us to decide... how will we be?

73
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Who will we be?...

74
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,840
This is what it is we're building

75
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,640
...the capacity to respond

76
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,280
It is about possibilities and solutions

77
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:21,360
Human kind knows what to do

78
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
(audience applause)

79
00:05:49,015 --> 99:59:59,999
