That is why there is so much...

Blowing the Western Mind
fibonaccispirals:
The materialist/dualist version of reality has proved useful for Western society in its attempts to dominate the material world, other peoples, and nature. This philosophy has also led us to the brink of nuclear war — the ultimate expression of self-other division — and the extinction of many of the planet’s many life forms, as...
