I am reading the book “Dangerous Years: Climate Change, the Long Emergency, and the Way Forward” by David W. Orr. This quote is something everyone knows is true. Yet, our society will not say it out loud.

(quote)

It is impossible to make an unsustainable system resilient. Sooner or later the careless exploitation of land, water, forests, biota, and people will lead to disaffection, overshoot, and collapse. There are many variations on the theme, but the point stands. No system can be made resilient or durable on the ruin of natural systems or on the backs of exploited people. Design dictates destiny but not in a predictable way.
