Alan Ginsburg was one of the first people to speak at that conference. He said Gregory Bateson had introduced him to the possibility of a runaway apocalypse. And I think it's representative of the emerging concern about the environment we see in this time, he says. "All of our actions have consequences that come back and affect us in turn" That's the new accounting for reality that I associate with the ecological imaginary, writes John Green.
