:05:00
...is that they have
no sense of ownership at all.
:05:04
Where they live,
there's nothing you can own.
:05:06
Only trees and grass and animals.
:05:09
These Bushmen have never seen
a stone or a rock in their lives.
:05:13
The hardest things they know
are wood and bone.
:05:17
They live in a gentle world, where nothing
is as hard as rock, steel or concrete.
:05:26
Only 600 miles to the south,
there's a vast city.
:05:33
And here you find civilized man.
:05:59
Civilized man refused
to adapt himself to his environment.
:06:02
Instead he adapted his environment
to suit him.
:06:05
So he built cities, roads,
vehicles, machinery.
:06:08
And he put up power lines
to run his labour-saving devices.
:06:13
But he didn't know when to stop.
:06:15
The more he improved his
surroundings to make life easier...
:06:18
...the more complicated he made it.
:06:20
Now his children are sentenced to
10 to 15 years of school, to learn...
:06:24
...how to survive in this complex
and hazardous habitat.
:06:28
And civilized man, who refused
to adapt to his surroundings...
:06:32
...now finds he has to adapt
and re-adapt...
:06:35
...every hour of the day
to his self-created environment.
:06:39
For instance, if it's Monday...
:06:41
...and 7:30 comes up, you have to dis-
adapt from your domestic surroundings...
:06:46
...and re-adapt yourself to an
entirely different environment.
:06:57
8:00 means everybody
has to look busy.
