   Great closing talk, but why is the video not presented in the correct proportions?

   The video is squeezed which is horrible to look at.

   Why is there no volume slider?  Almost blew out my eardrums when it started.

   Great video otherwise.

   Downloading from links doesnt work, maybe seed those videos? Or put them on a better server if there is too much load. Thanks!

   I've created a visualisation of this talk- I mostly wanted to understand the four quadrants- who was in the Shock of the Old, who belonged to Dark Euphoria. You can find it here: http://katiechatfield.wordpress.com/2009/07/14/where-did-the-future-go/

    Nihilism? Really?

    Dark euphoria sounds kinda nice to me.  It's crisis / opportunity.

    Plus it recapitulates all those lovely sci fi novels (like Schismatrix and Heavy Weather) -- it'll feel like living nostalgia for the worlds of my childhood imagination.

    Oh, am I performing my age?  :)

    not so much Nihilism, but rather emergence of the masses.  See Gasset, Fromm or Lippman. It's a very negative outlook he has....a wider scope might be more positive.

    "...too much nihilism and bs in 45 minutes. wow, such people get invited to talks?"

    He addresses this in the follow up interview.
    Plus, I guess I'm the only one who finds this guy really funny?
