This chapter explores the concept of living in harmony with nature and the unique role that humans have in preserving and nurturing the environment. It discusses the criticism of relying solely on technology to solve ecological problems and emphasizes the need for a mindset shift towards social ecology. The chapter also examines the relationship between technology, scarcity, and societal issues, highlighting the potential for technology to liberate and improve human life when used responsibly.

Today we talk about some of the work of Murray Bookchin. We talk about anarchism as a historical trend in human thought that keeps recurring. Then we talk about the superficiality of typical approaches to being environmentally conscious. We talk about Futurism and the hope of colonizing other planets. We talk about Artificial Intelligence and why people sometimes don't feel like celebrating its arrival.
