Once you put human life in human hands, you have started on a slippery slope that knows no boundaries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The idea that we can make all things safe for all behaviors is in itself a dangerous and slippery slope.
The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.
Probably all the books I've ever written have been efforts to define the boundaries of humanity.
Life is lived on the edge.
Today the fate of humankind is even more crucially linked than ever before. The boundaries between the problems of 'others' and 'our' problems are being increasingly erased.
Human life has meaning only to that degree and as long as it is lived in the service of humanity.
The wrong idea has taken root in the world. And the idea is this: there just might be lives out there that matter less than other lives.
At some point, I realized that you don't get a full human life if you try to cut off one end of it; that you need to agree to the entire experience, to the full spectrum of what happens.
I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.
The straight line leads to the downfall of humanity.
