Paul Shepard - ‘Coming Home to the Pleistocene’

 
In the absence of some new synthesis that rejoins us to our natural heritage, the world of corporate organisation pushes us towards the degenerating process of conformity, the frenzied outbreak of genetic engineering, and the pied piper’s technological tootle leading down the “information highway” toward the “networked” insanity that confuses electronic regurgitation with wisdom. This circuit-sedative turns into entertainment junkies hooked without reprieve to the economic machine and its media, a new level of confusion between reality and virtual reality.

This weeks Green Thoughts are taken from Paul Shepard’s 1998 book  ‘Coming Home to the Pleistocene’.
