The chicken-egg analogy applies here too.Malcolm wrote:The whole point is that the technology we use shapes how we perceive the world.
I think you will find it is a little more than that. Yes, this is a major part of what class is but...Class is nothing more nor less than divisions of society based upon who has the privilege of extracting and consuming more resources.
I think you will find that nobody said this. I, for example, said that the issue of class has to be addressed TOO, or else an ecological society will never become a reality. That class is also a contributing factor, especially the political dynamics of class.Therefore, thinking that we need to resolve class issues in order to resolved ecological issues...
You won't see me disagreeing.Socialism never created a means of production on its own, and therefore it relies on the principles of extractive economics equally as much as Capitalism.
Sure, but your emotional appeal to change is based on the assumption that we will destroy the planet and that we will not have somewhere to live. That is hardly biocentric.Nope, the only way to resolve the ecological crisis is to abandon a human centered approach to civilization, and adopt a biocentric approach.
Not to mention the fact that a "movement", which is basically an extraordinarily small bunch of privileged white males, now feel that they are not only speaking on behalf of humans, but the whole freakin' planet.
Sigh...
