It seems harsh to put the responsability of our current situation on all of humanity when actually it is the product of decisions taken since ancient times by those in power and not by anything like ''human nature''. If today the Amazon burns and African rainforest are razen it is because decisions taken in boardrooms and presidential palaces and, if we want to go further back, when Columbus and Da Gama got money and ships to ''discover'' America and Africa...
But that is a political view of history, one that seems to be rapidly being replaced by others like the one created by Mr. Edward O. Wilson, Sociobiology. In Sociobiology we humans have no other choice but to compete against each other without any hope of ever getting out of the systems of control and explotation created by the state and capital. After all it is our genes who are on the driver seat, selfish genes who only care for their replication. So why despair about domination and destruction of all of nature then? A very useful ideology to those sitting at the top of the heap because it makes them feel better by liberating them of responsability and for the rest of us who expect to accept the rule power as the only possible way of living. ''Dont worry, if it is just the way of nature, the strong survive and the weak perish, either on the forest or the stock market''. That sounds just like the words the priestly caste have been feeding us since Babylon. _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
