Conversations like this make me think just how massive, ancient and mysterious our world really is. To unplug from the 1st world drama of the week and the left/right dichotomy which is constantly being shoved in our faces. To just take a moment in awe to realize how utterly insignificant any of it is. Is so refreshing.

Paul is a different kind of dude. He’s really in tune with nature and feels it in his cells. When I was young I felt in tune with nature and lost it. I had forgotten that feeling until listening to him. We need more people in the world like him.

Just walk in the woods. As soon as you get under the canopy of the trees it comes back. Then do it on a clear night, when the moon is bright.(hey I'm a poet and I didn't even know it)... Anyway, you can tap into it, it's accessible.

@@flinchus Maybe the arrows look like spears because the people are 5 foot tall? Look up the helicopter pictures of these so-called uncontacted tribes. The women are 4 foot tall. And no, giants don't live in the Amazon.

Curiously, the guy forgot to mention that Colombia, too has quite a good chunk of the Amazon forest. If you go to the Colombian city of Leticia (capital of the Amazonas department), you can enter Brazil by just crossing the road you’re in. And if you get into a boat, by crossing the river you’re in Peru. Now, it must be said that whilst the walking can be done at anytime, the river crossing can only be done during the day, never at night as there’s way too much contraband going on. Nevertheless, it’s one incredible place to be.

Looking at satellite images shows insane amounts of "growth" and its scary for 2 reasons. One, we say the planet can hold more of us, but can it maintain itself. 2. Massive trees don't grow to that size from soil nutrients. If so, every tree would be in a hole. Trees are carbon, and they are grown by absorbing Carbon Dioxide. These massive ecosystems that turn into Coconut farms, are a serious target for climate activists. (Or should be) fuel is not number 1. However stepping away from fossil fuels is best sooner than later.
