Paul Kingsnorth, "Time to stop pretending" at Dark Mountain Festival 2010

Paul Kingsnorth's talk at UNCIVILISATION, Dark Mountain Festival 2010 in Llangollen, Wales (29.5.2010). His speech (of which I missed the first 3 minutes) was part of the "Time to stop pretending" panel.

"Paul has worked on the comment desk of the Independent, as commissioning editor for opendemocracy.net and as deputy editor of The Ecologist. He is also an award-winning poet, and an honorary member of the Lani tribe of New Guinea. He has written for most UK newspapers and many other publications at home and abroad, and appeared on radio and TV. Paul's first book, One No, Many Yeses (Simon and Schuster, 2003), an investigative journey through the 'anti-globalisation' movement, was published in six languages in thirteen countries. His second book, Real England, was published by Portobello Books in 2008. His debut poetry collection, Kidland, is forthcoming from Salmon Poetry. In 2009 he co-founded of the Dark Mountain Project."

Vinay Gupta, "Time to stop pretending" at Dark Mountain Festival 2010

Speech of Vinay Gupta at last weekend's intensely inspiring UNCIVILISATION, Dark Mountain Festival 2010 in Llangollen, Wales (29.5.2010). His talk was part of the "Time to stop pretending" panel (pls excuse the shaky and somewhat out of focus recording...)

Gupta was born in 1972 and is a partner at Buttered Side Down - a risk management consultancy focusing on systemic risks like state failure and economic collapse.
