[-empyre-] invasive species

[Aviva Rahmani]

It might be useful to distinguish between self-hate and responsibility. The latter is far more difficult to act on. Humans and anthropocentrism unquestionably have had a devastating effect on other species, and may be committing ecosuicide along with ecocide. But the solutions, including population control require a daunting amount of education and re-education of all those billions of people, most of who are too busy surviving, or alternately, fulfilling self-centered agendas to give a rat’s a--. Nonetheless, that “enlightenment” might be the conflicted noblesse oblige of artists and intellectuals.
