Civilization Can Never Be Sustainable.

From The Beginning, This Culture - Civilization - Has Been A Culture Of Occupation.

To Reverse The Effects Of Civilization Would Destroy The Dreams Of A Lot Of People. There's No Way Around It. We Can Talk All We Want About Sustainability, But There's A Sense In Which It Doesn't Matter That These People's Dreams Are Based On, Embedded In, Intertwined With, And Formed By An Inherently Destructive Economic And Social System. Their Dreams Are Still Their Dreams. What Right Do I -- Or Does Anyone Else -- Have To Destroy Them. At The Same Time, What Right Do They Have To Destroy The World?

The Stories We Are Told Shape The Way We See The World, Which Shapes The Way We Experience The World.

Civilization Is Not And Can Never Be Sustainable.

Learning Has To Come From Doing, Not Intellectualizing.
