0:00:05.130,0:00:10.300
So if we choose to eradicate ourselves from[br]this Earth by whatever means,

0:00:10.300,0:00:13.300
the Earth goes nowhere.

0:00:13.300,0:00:19.110
And in time, it will regenerate and all the[br]lakes will be pristine.

0:00:19.110,0:00:25.730
The rivers, the waters, the mountains - everything[br]will be green again.

0:00:25.730,0:00:29.000
It will be peaceful.

0:00:29.000,0:00:33.320
There may not be people but the Earth will[br]regenerate.

0:00:33.320,0:00:35.700
And you know why?

0:00:35.700,0:00:39.100
Because the Earth has all the time in the[br]world

0:00:39.100,0:00:41.900
and we don't.

0:00:42.320,0:00:44.600
So I think that is where we are at right now.

0:00:58.210,0:01:02.500
Now as you are coming down the final stretch,

0:01:02.500,0:01:05.300
you are racing towards the finish

0:01:05.820,0:01:08.400
and there is the stone wall

0:01:08.400,0:01:11.400
and you're not pulling your horse.

0:01:11.649,0:01:13.579
You're not stopping.

0:01:13.579,0:01:16.500
You're in fact accelerating.

0:01:18.200,0:01:24.500
I said, "Now that is the way I see the use[br]of what you call 'resources.'"

0:01:25.500,0:01:29.250
You are using them faster than they are reproducing.

0:01:30.200,0:01:32.100
And you are headed towards that disaster

0:01:32.800,0:01:36.100
and none of you are pulling your horse.

0:01:36.100,0:01:38.070
Take the example of a car race.

0:01:38.070,0:01:39.719
They have a yellow flag.

0:01:39.719,0:01:42.539
When there is an accident or something, a[br]yellow flag comes out.

0:01:42.539,0:01:43.630
Everybody gets into line.

0:01:43.630,0:01:45.609
They slow down.

0:01:45.609,0:01:47.990
They have sort of a common sense about that at least.

0:01:49.100,0:01:52.700
I said, "Do you have a concept of a yellow flag?

0:01:52.700,0:01:57.610
Is there a yellow flag amongst your ideas[br]and your thinking?"

0:01:57.610,0:02:01.000
And one of the gentlemen - and they were all men -

0:02:03.000,0:02:06.000
he said, "you know, I understand what you're saying,

0:02:06.000,0:02:10.200
but to answer your question, 'no, we can't pull our horse'

0:02:10.250,0:02:12.500
as you are saying because," he said,

0:02:12.500,0:02:14.900
"We have to show a profit.

0:02:14.920,0:02:17.380
As the CEO, I must show a profit.

0:02:17.380,0:02:21.700
If I don't show a profit," he said, "I'm fired.

0:02:24.730,0:02:25.730
Simple as that.

0:02:25.730,0:02:26.730
I am out of a job.

0:02:26.730,0:02:28.110
I have to show a profit."

0:02:28.110,0:02:30.100
I said, "to whom?"

0:02:30.100,0:02:32.560
He said, "To you - the stockholder."

0:02:35.300,0:02:38.090
I said, "Are you married?"

0:02:38.090,0:02:39.600
He says, "Yes, I am."

0:02:39.600,0:02:41.800
I said, "Do you have children?"

0:02:41.800,0:02:44.200
He said, "Yes, I do."

0:02:44.200,0:02:46.300
I said, "Do you have any grandchildren?"

0:02:46.300,0:02:48.800
He said, "I have two - two boys."

0:02:48.800,0:02:55.500
I said, "When do you cease to be a CEO and become a grandfather?"

0:02:58.300,0:03:01.540
There was a lot of silence there because that was a moral question.

0:03:01.540,0:03:06.300
And if you don't have a moral question in[br]your governing process,

0:03:06.300,0:03:11.600
then you don't have a process that is going to survive.

0:03:12.690,0:03:16.150
That's the governing law - a moral question.

0:03:16.150,0:03:22.500
You must have a moral society or you won't have any.

0:03:23.500,0:03:31.300
He couldn't answer the question and neither could anyone else because it was a moral question.

0:03:33.230,0:03:36.870
That's what we have to get back to.

0:03:36.870,0:03:42.100
So they said, "Well -" got kinda heavy silence[br]there,

0:03:42.100,0:03:47.800
so they said, "Look, you're an Indian

0:03:47.870,0:03:50.900
and we keep hearing about Indian prophecies.

0:03:50.900,0:03:52.900
Can you give us a prophecy?"

0:03:52.900,0:03:57.950
Of course, I could have told him a lot because I know a lot.

0:03:57.950,0:04:02.569
But at that particular moment, I said, "certainly, I can and I can guarantee it."

0:04:02.569,0:04:06.460
They said, "Really, well what is it?"

0:04:06.460,0:04:12.100
I said, "Next year you will meet any nothing will have changed."

0:04:14.100,0:04:17.900
And again there was silence.

0:04:19.900,0:04:24.900
We're moving in a very direct line to that[br]stone wall.

0:04:24.900,0:04:30.010
I do not believe personally that we have past the point of no return.

0:04:30.010,0:04:32.410
But we are approaching it.

0:04:32.410,0:04:36.960
We are approaching it.

0:04:36.960,0:04:41.720
And everyday that you don't do what's right is a day that you have lost an option.

0:04:41.720,0:04:46.300
And you are losing your options everyday.

0:04:48.300,0:04:53.280
"You are all I got left, honey.

0:04:53.280,0:04:57.000
Nothing else matters."
