The Red-Green Revolution
Society has been hurtling toward self-destruction, invariably making selfish choices that act in favor of both human and natural domination. The enslavement of our people and our world is best sumamrized by Edward O. Wilson, a sociobiologist, in 1984:
"The ambiguity of the opposing ideals was a superb strategy for survival, just so long as the people who used it stayed sufficiently ignorant. It enhanced genetic evolution of the brain and generated more and better culture. The world began to yield, first to the agriculturists and then to technicians, merchants, and circumnavigators. Humanity accelerated toward the machine antipode, heedless of the natural desire of the mind to keep the opposite as well. Now we are near the end. The inner voice murmurs 'You went too far', and disturbed the world, and gave away too much for your control of Nature. Perhaps Hobbes's definition is correct, and this will be the hell we earned for realizing truth too late. But I demur in all this. I suggest otherwise: the same knowledge that brought the dilemma to its climax contains the solution."
-"Biophilia", p. 13
Society's possible salvation depends upon the ability of its components to work communally. We must all attempt to help usher in this vital revolution, for, if we fail, the resultant world will not be one worth living in.
