These are people who give real power to intuition. Let's choose a group who grant metaphors more authority than data. These are people who possess a perceptual grasp about the abiding unity of nature because, unlike many politicians and all scientists, they do not attempt to stand outside their subject. Not bringing a shopping list to the task, they comprehend the key difference between nature and natural resources. Actually, modern Western culture may be unique in not already doing so.
Future generations suffer because of it.
Everything about our culture recommends that the seventh generation does not actually exist. I would suggest, instead, that they are real people. They do exist, but for the moment, they remain incapable of doing much of anything on their own behalf. Perhaps we can give them more substance by changing the way we perceive them. Take a perceptual leap with me.
