Please stop with your innovation, productivity and efficiency. It's killing us. It's killing life.
Human innovation is destroying:
Climate
Soil
Air
Water
Human innovation is pumping into a dying environment:
Chemicals
Plastics
E-waste
Nitrogen
Phosphorous
If we weren't so intelligent, we wouldn't be nearly so dangerous. And now we've created an artificial, industrialized version of our destructive intelligence.
It won't end well.
Where's the wisdom?
