My own view is that we have technologized the world, not humanized it....and
dehumanized it as much as we have denatured it. Its the place where human
nature and nature nature overlap that is so lost to us. A humanized humanity
certainly would take its environment, the sadness of animals, the needs of
vegetation, seriously. So I like the ideals but think the analysis not quite
right.
