a new essay by Guy McPherson...."We’re under some gross misconception that we’re a good species, going somewhere important, and that at the last minute we’ll correct our errors..deep within ourselves we know that our omnipotence is a sham, our knowledge and control of the future is weak and limited, our inventions and discoveries work, if they work at all in ways that we do not expect, our planning is meaningless, our systems are running amok — in short, that the humanistic assumptions upon which our societies are grounded lack validity.”
