“This is biodiversity: a delicate web of life that we are slowly and systematically dismantling.”
― The Only Possible Solution: How to Shape the Future for Our Next Generations
― The Only Possible Solution: How to Shape the Future for Our Next Generations
“..we create a culture and language that necessarily assumes we are special. In the face of all the mounting evidence to the contrary, our culture and language suggest that we may be guilty of anthropomorphising life-forms that show us that the assumed ‘human’ qualities are not only human ones.
Talk about stacking the deck against other animals. It is an ugly Orwellian feedback loop. Any approach to truth is lost in a deep corruption of logic and language. This wrong-headedness and unfairness sits very deep within us and our culture; it is time to call it out so we can root it out.”
