As a species, we tend to be doers, forever shaping and reshaping the world to better suit our purposes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our species is on the verge of changes that will fundamentally alter what it means to be human... and we are the people driving that change.
I just believe that our most redeeming feature as a species is our capacity for love.
We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
Once humans traded their hunter-gatherer existences for more settled communities, we began a quest to make our lives better and more comfortable, but we've also been sucking precious finite resources from our environment ever since.
Now, more than ever, we need nature as a balancing agent.
The world has not yet reached the point which, in my view, is an essential condition for the survival of our human species: access by all the peoples to the material resources of this planet.
What prevails in every corner of this globalized world is the real struggle of our species for its own survival.
We're the only creature God ever created that doesn't want to adapt. We want to make it stand still. And one thing that's constant is nature is constantly changing.
We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is just a self-congratulatory delusion.
