Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Anthropology in the last hundred years has laid on our doorstep the tools necessary for an archaic reconstruction of society and human values within that society. Its inconceivable that western or industrial capitalism could run on for another 500 to 1000 years, it will deteriorate under the pressure of resource scarcity. And what few democratic values we have obtained, what little space for reasoned discourse has been created, will be the first to be swept away. Thats why its very very important that people take back their minds. And that people analyze our dilemma in the context of our entire historical record, from inhabitants of the trees to our potential role as citizens of the galaxy and the universe. We are at the critical turning point, and as I say the tools, the data, the information that holds the potential for our salivation is now known. It is available. It is among us. But it is slandered, it is ridiculed, it is litigated against. Its up to each one of us to relate to this situation and be able to answer the question; that will surely be put to us at some point in the future, which is: What did you do to help save the world?
