- 20041h 18mNot Rated7.5 (1K)DirectorGregory GreeneStarsBarrie ZwickerJames Howard KunstlerPeter CalthorpeThe modern suburbs have ultimately become an unsustainable way of living. They were originally developed in an era of cheap oil, when the automobile became the center of the way people lived and an era when people wanted to escape the inner city to a more pastoral or rural way of life. However the suburbs quickly evolved into a merely a place to live that had neither the benefits of rural or urban life, and where one was reliant on an automobile both to travel elsewhere and even travel within the neighborhood. The suburbs are not only dependent upon cheap energy, but also reliable energy. The reliability of energy is becoming less so as demonstrated by the multi-day blackout of the North American Eastern Seaboard starting on August 14, 2003. Part of the problem of getting out of the suburban mentality is that a generation has grown up believing it to be a normal way of life, and a life of entitlement, which they will not give up without a fight. But many developers and planners and some of the general public understand the want and need to make the way the collective we live in a more walkable and humanistic manner.

- DirectorThomas BlomMisha WesselThe Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, is a scientific sanctuary focused on deep thought and the exploration of the boundaries of human knowledge. It is the academic home of Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and John von Neumann. Since its foundation in 1930, the IAS has brought forth 33 Nobel Prize winners and 42 fields medalists. One does not apply to IAS, one gets invited. There are no degree programs or experimental facilities at the Institute. The faculty has no classes to teach. Nobody, who's in the IAS, is required to do anything that they don't want to do themselves. The purpose of being at the IAS is to imagine and discover something not existent and providing scientific proof. The World of Thinking follows four faculty members and post doctorates in the IAS as they fatigue to resolve problems that could change the way we understand the world today. Time and concentration are fundamental commodities in deep thinking and we discover that to play with consciousness is often a crucial factor when pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
