But with what do I have to identify with the planet being doomed. I would disagree that it is a human weakness, but I suppose it is possible. May be it is part of the problem, like nature/nurture, it is about a balance of both ideas without excluding the other... The other being that is it in fact counter to human nature (whatever that is) and a delusion at best, a manipulation at worst.
We could talk about "whole" that Synackaon mentioned, but I fear that we will disagree with the whole. I just pick little battles, like bitching about the Pharma or Walmart people, because the big picture is difficult.
Why do we act so self destructively, either as a whole or individually? It's a big one, up there with 'where did we come from' and other philosophical conundrums.
