Peak Moment TV host Janaia Donaldson explores the question, “Is the world a better place because you were born?” with author Derrick Jensen in the next Peak Moment broadcast on cable channel 30 Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 28 and 29, at 7 p.m.

Jensen contrasts sustainable indigenous cultures who enrich their habitat with the current “dominant culture destroying everything.”

He explores how industrial civilization is inherently violent, turning people into objects and the earth into stuff. His books include “A Language Older Than Words,” “The Culture of Make Believe,” “What We Leave Behind and Endgame.”
