This was Deep Ecology's insight into SOM's subsuming of values. Even in a shallow way, if we look at global warming as a real effect of man's planetary dominance, then we could see it as the planet's defensive immune system attacking the human cancer which is growing beyond natural limits. Therefore, society's urge to mitigate the fever without really curing the disease is a far worse problem than having to relocate coastal population centers further north. imo, John On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 6:38 AM, X Acto <[email protected]> wrote: > What are the deadly consequences of environmentalism? > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tue, December 1, 2009 9:36:13 AM > Subject: [MD] SOM's defect comes home to roost > > Hi All: > > One of the main messages of the MOQ is SOM's lack of morality: > > "But having said this, the Metaphysics of Quality goes on to say that > science, the intellectual pattern that has been appointed to take over > society, has a defect in it.
