Goodbye natural capital


Our civilization is constitutionally incapable of reversing the annihilation of natural capital.
.
Let me repeat that.
.
Our civilization is constitutionally incapable of reversing the annihilation of natural capital.

.
Or even slowing it down.
.
On the contrary it is accelerating.
.
Get used to that.
.
When we really understand that.

The project of reconceiving civilization itself will gain a powerful impetus.
.
And without perceiving ourselves differently we have nowhere to go.
.
Will we won't we, the big question.
.
Time is short though.
.
The pace of destruction is accelerating.
