It is kept in place by me, you, all of us. Collectively, our millions of actions every day create, support, reinforce, and maintain a system in which no one is free. In traditional dictatorships, kicking out the ruling clique meant that something changed. Under Auto-Totality, we keep kicking out the incumbents, but the beast lives on. The problem is not bad people but a bad system.
Nothing happens unless first a dream.
It is the work of our own hands. Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner that we know. Fundamental changes are urgent if we are to avoid the collision our present course will bring about. We have built our household on the assumption that the natural household is simple and can be simply used.
