Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival

I had the opportunity to enjoy the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival tonite in Ely, Minnesota. I'm glad that I went but want to note a few things before I forget my thoughts.

  • There were very, very few people my age (28). Most were older, mid 40s and on.
  • Probably one of the best films at expressing everything was the first one - The Good Life Parable: An MBA Meets a Fisherman.
  • Diversity.. Diversity.. Diversity. That's what I kept thinking. Diversity strengthens us. But my thoughts have reached a new level of diversity: diversity of humanity. I need to expand upon this thought, perhaps in a later blog entry.
  • Science.. science is the business of nature. Keep this in mind. I keep hearing and seeing how science is going to solve all of our problems. Science is man trying to put a logical understanding upon nature. Fuck that. Nature is something you just feel, something you just know. It is a part of us all - nature is diversity. There is no right answer, there are many different ways of getting to the same path.
