13-10-2011 23:36 Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points. This episode features Alvin Toffler. He is an American writer and futurist, known for his works discussing the digital revolution, communications revolution, corporate revolution and technological singularity.

We are entering a period where we are going to have investment capital scarcities. Investment capital will be very scarce. Its going to become impossible to develop a technological solution set. Risk in our society has been wrongly priced.. I talk about oil being the collateral of the reserve currency which requires sea empire. We just don't want to know. There is a physical world and the monetary constructs are just a construct and esoteric layer. Complex systems we depend upon will break in the future and we see that process underway.
