EH - 110 : Fundamentalism

"there are two places we have gone, with reckless abandon, where we had no business going -- into the atom and into the cell."

Robert Jensen give a well-thought out description of the fundamentalist nature of modern day thought. A current science-based Luddite, overwhelmed by the profusion of technological 'progress', can understand the point of view completely. Though turning back the clock is not an option, but reducing imperial hubris and recognizing that we can implement change an idividual at a time are good options. Live to be what you expect yourself to be. Right, Hamlet?
