Humanity Cannot Afford To Acknowledge All Of The Blood That It Spills And The Destruction It Inflicts On The World In Its Effort To Perpetuate Itself. Desacralization Is A Process That Allows Us To Sever Any Relationship We Might Feel To Other Living Things. By Draining The Aliveness Out Of Things, We Can Pretend That Our Control And Manipulation Are Of Little Consequence. Man The Trapper Becomes Man The Taxidermist, Disemboweling Nature Of Its Spontaneity And Movement, And Stuffing It With A Leaden Inanimateness.

The Eu Constitution Is Something New In Human History. Though It Is Not As Eloquent As The French And U.s. Constitutions, It Is The First Governing Document Of Its Kind To Expand The Human Franchise To The Level Of Global Consciousness.

I Think Capitalism Will Not Disappear, But It's Going To Increasingly Not Be The Exclusive Arbiter Of Economic Life. It's Going To Have To Find Value In Interacting With The Sharing Economy On Many Levels.

Economic Activity Is No Longer An Adversarial Contest Between Embattled Sellers And Buyers "in The Distributed Economy, Where Collaboration Trumps Competition, Inclusivity Replaces Exclusivity And Transparency And Openness To Others Becomes Essential To The New Way Of Conducting Business, Empathic Sensibility Has Room To Breathe And Thrive. It Is No Longer So Constrained By Hierarchies, Boundaries Of Exclusion, And A Concept Of Human Nature That Places Acquisitiveness, Self-interest, And Utility At The Center Of The Human Experience."
