Myopia and Deep Denial by Too Many People

Continuing on with the Introduction to Ecological Liberalism---

Any informed, reasonable assessment of the current state of humanity on finite Earth surely would conclude with the following.
1.  The Powers-That-Be and too many Main Street people apparently believe we humans are separate from and superior to Nature... and thus not subject to the Laws of Nature.
2.  As a consequence, we have been and continue to be on a path of subduing Nature, rather than extracting natural capital in a sustainable manner.
3.  The results have been:  overuse, degradation, and dangerous disruption of our natural habitat... plus, pollution in the extreme.
4.  Much of the above is due to propaganda, a lack of knowledge concerning natural science (especially ecology), economics, & ethics, and a deep denial of readily apparent facts.
5.  Too many people have bought into the fallacies of unlimited population and economic growth, expanding consumption/consumerism, and the ability of technology to overcome any problem whatsoever.

Fortunately, amidst all the short-sightedness and denial, many institutions and people are working hard to provide valuable education toward a sustainable, ecological path forward.  Here are a few of them---

If you really want to educate yourself, you're going to have to read and/or watch relevant videos.  Twitter is great, but 140 characters only points the way.  😊

Not only my opinion.  Everyone Be Well
