Text reads: Yet the Earth-sacralizing elements of these powerful belief systems have not been able to withstand the twin forces of Judeo-Christianity and techno-industrial capitalism. As historian Lynn White, Jr. noted in his 1967 essay, “The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis,” the first of these separates us from and putatively raises us above the rest of the living (and non-living) world, while the second exploits this spiritual detachment for individual gain. Forcibly imposed by and steadily exported from the West, these machine-like forces have overwhelmed all others and hollowed out the nature-worshipping elements that might resist it. Nor is it yet done doing so: A 2023 study showed that industrial development threatens more than 60% of the Earth’s Indigenous-held lands, an area almost seven times the size of India. Until we find a system where, as the 19th-century English judge Lord Bowen might put it, the unjust stop stealing the just’s umbrella, the chances of the long hope being realized remain deep in the negative integers.
"Continued #autocatalysis solidified our alienation from the rest of #nature; subsequent developments such as civilization, the advent of #agriculture, industrial #capitalism and Judeo-Christianity, added multiple reinforcements."
+ SO many more great learnings here!
