Jeremy Rifkin

This man speaks a lot of truth, and depending on what you know, he may evoke either fear, anger, or sadness.  Unfortunately those responses tend to produce more negative results rather than inspire change or positive action.  Why is he not talking about a resource-based economy as a proposed system-wide evolution?  Is he aware of groups like The Venus Project, Zeitgeist Movement, Open-Source Ecology, and many others which offer such fundamentally improved models of bio-eco-geo-socio-techno-logical design?  Rifkin must go further and offer a detailed solution or alternative strategy for us to work toward; otherwise he is just another man on a soapbox preaching the end of the world, while scientists and engineers like Jacque Fresco are offering ways to save it.
