Well, Ake, for all of our species' great achievements: science, art etc., the geological record will show us to have been just mindless 'locusts' devouring our habitat. We're not mindless, though, are we? And we've got choices. The first thing we need to do is to choose to ditch the grossly stupid assumptions that I listed in my last post. Trouble is, we may have left it too late ...?
