What can I say? Indigenous people had and continue to have the right idea. If you live your life as if everything has a spirit, you will lead a naturally sustainable and ethical life. I could say more, but I doubt intense philosophizing, if I can call it that, would make the point any clearer. In fact, I think that kind of rhetoric just makes things more confusing. There are numerous ways to do this, and just as many constraints, but I see it as the only solution to the toxic levels of industrialization that have made our form of civilization so fraught with problems. Where I differ from the deep ecologists is that I think, or accept, that the reconciliation of this inherent conflict is possible, at least in a representational sense, but still satisfactorily, through art. Beauty will save you . . . us?
