Initially I found the video (in an abbreviated version) on Facebook where it was posted with Italian subtitles by Dolce Vita Magazine, so I searched if I could fined the original on YouTube - here it is:
If we re-establish the 4,5 billion years from which planet earth exists on a single day of 24 hours, we'll find out that the man lives at 3 Seconds. A time that was enough to upset the Planet!
Prince Ea returns with another spoken-poetry type beat, in which he describes mankind’s impact on planet Earth, the lack of attention being paid to it, and the difference between “wisdom” and “intelligence”.
Fun fact: planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Mankind? About 140,000 years old.
Let me put that in perspective:
If you condense the Earth's lifespan into 24 hours,
that's one full day,
then we have been here on this planet for...
...drumroll please...
...three seconds.
Three seconds, and look what we've done.
We have modestly named ourselves "homo sapiens"
meaning "wise man", but is man really so wise?
Smart, yes, and it's good to be smart,
but not too smart for your own good.
Yes, we have split the atom.
Yes, we build clever machines that
navigate the universe in search of new homes.
But at the same time,
those atoms we split created nuclear warfare.
In our quest to explore the galaxy,
rejects and neglects the home that we have here now.
So no, that can not be wisdom.
