This is interesting. I find this true for myself literally and metaphorically. The implications are far-reaching. My therapist would find it interesting as well. And I find it heart breaking to boot not when talking about myself but in looking outward. Everything is made to pay or assigned value. Because everything seen this way is under arrest. That's how Monsanto can patent life forms. The audacity. Of those hiding within a corporation.
I do become alarmed when there is a call to dismantle civilization largely because I am leery of the intentions of some who may show up a little too eagerly for the demolition work.
I am not familiar with Jensen's work. I downloaded a sample chapter of Endgame. Right now I am reading (just started) Eaarth by McKibben. He talks about what looks like permanent climate change toward drought conditions for Australia. I hadn't realized. And flash fires four stories high in Victoria (these you had talked about). There are similar climate changes mentioned for the southwestern US. There were terrible lightening fires in California a few years back, but not the high walls of flame seen in Australia.
