We Must Learn How To Think Like

To Pretend That Civilization Can Exist Without Destroying Its Own Landbase And The Landbases And Cultures Of Others Is To Be Entirely Ignorant Of History, Biology, Thermodynamics, Morality, And Self-preservation.

Like The Layers Of An Onion, Under The First Lie Is Another, And Under That Another, And They All Make You Cry.

I Thought That, Given The System Of Rewards Central To Our Economic System, In Which Profit Maximization Is Valued Above All Else And Specifically Above Life, It Is Probably Just As Irresistible To The Owners Of Capital (human Or Otherwise) To Exploit Workers (and The Land): "nothing Personal," They Say As They Load Their Property Onto The Ship Bound For The Middle Passage, "but A Man's Gotta Turn A Dime."

Civilization Can Never Be Sustainable.

Within This Culture Wealth Is Measured By One's Ability To Consume And Destroy.
