PROLOGUE

Technology by itself cannot be expected to improve the quality of our lives. Indeed, until we are willing to fundamentally alter the way we treat the planet and each other, our technologies may extinguish all life as we know it within the next 50 years. This is a bitter and sobering thought. We are running out of time.

When practiced without conscience, science is the most dangerous pursuit ever devised by mankind. The consequences we face after the scientific discoveries of the 20th century are almost too staggering to contemplate. The list is long and daunting. Most serious is the irremediable contamination of the oceans with long-lived radioactive waste. Today, ocean currents are carrying high concentrations of radioactive heavy ions from the Russian dumping grounds in Riga and Novaya Zemlya to the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is estimated that within in less than 25 years, radioactive contamination will reach the islands in the Pacific Ocean in sufficient concentrations to seriously disrupt the marine ecology beyond repair.

Closely associated with this problem is the contamination of the oceans with long-term carcinogenic industrial chemicals which are not biodegradable. We are being advised to discontinue the consumption of deep sea species, shell fish and mollusks because of the increasingly high concentrations of lead, mercury and PCB’s found in their tissues. The primary link in the food chain supplied by the oceans of the world is being polluted at a rate which may already be beyond intervention and remediation. If the oceans no longer support adequate life in an uncontaminated form, human kind and many other species will also cease to exist. Take the case of the ocean reefs surrounding Bali as a primary example.

Of even greater short-term concern is the issue of polluted drinking water. It is estimated by the United Nations and the World Health Organization that within the next ten years, potable water supplies will sink to a level which seriously threatens the survival of many key, densely populated areas. This is particularly true of water supplies originating in the Russian tundra and Siberia, the Balkans, much of North America, India, most of Central and South America, most of China and the island nation of Japan, Africa and East Asia. We cannot live without uncontaminated water. Nevertheless, industries, multi-national corporations, military organizations and the industrialized nations continue to condone the relentless pollution of ground water and aquifers at an increasing rate. This is a formula for extinction if allowed to continue unabated.

Atmospheric pollution has become the subject of intensely debated global politics. Of all the nations of the planet who can do something meaningful to curb atmospheric pollution, the United States is the single nation which refuses to be bound by the restrictions of the Kyoto Accords. For three centuries, the industrial machine which controls economics and politics has managed to indiscriminately despoil the planet with impunity. Today, the destruction of the ozone layer and the aggravation of the greenhouse effect have combined to fundamentally alter life on the planet. In Australia and New Zealand it has become customary to forswear direct exposure to the sun during certain seasons because of the absence of the ozone layer in the southern latitudes.

Since the 60’s, an increasingly vocal social awareness of acid rain in the industrial nations has failed to meaningfully alter atmospheric pollution. Instead of implementing the guidelines developed by the Environmental Protection Agency, to which compliance would cost tens of billions of dollars, the leaders of the United States have instead implemented a policy by which the worst polluters can buy the rights to continue to pollute from other companies whose “pollution credits” are up for sale. The profit motive and short-sighted business practices continue to drive the engines of industry and government, in spite of the fact that we have long known how to fix the problem.

Since the dust storms of the 30’s, which were largely the result of terminal contamination of the soil from the unrestricted use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides, the industrial nations of the world have continued to sell chemical substances which, when placed in the soil, destroy essential microbes, leach out the essential rare earth minerals and render critical farming belts unusable in seven to ten year cycles. Many species of plants and animals have ceased to exist because of the indiscriminate use of herbicides and pesticides all over the planet. This practice continues relatively unabated - in spite of the fact that the use of such chemicals as malathione and DDT have been prohibited in this country, they continue to be exported in record volumes to developing countries of the Third World. In this respect, it appears that many companies and governments still value life lower than short-term profits.

This is not happening because we have no alternatives. Organic farming has become almost a cult in recent years, a bastion of resistance against the relentless imposition of harmful chemicals on the food chain by a few die-hard producers who refuse to give in to market pressures and increasingly proscriptive regulation. As a result, the USDA expends more than 75% of its annual budget developing genetically engineered foods in order to sustain crop yields which are frustrated by decreasingly viable soils. Instead of remediating the damage to the soils and evolving our agricultural practices to accommodate what we have learned, we continue to contaminate them and allow chemical companies to profit by our short sightedness.

A heavy price is being paid for our failure to come to grips with the problem. The foods we eat, most of which are products of extensive hybridization and genetic engineering, are successively lower in nutritional value than the original strains. None of the naturally occurring foodstuffs grown in the US contain the rare earth minerals which are known to be essential to good health and longevity. Those substances have long since been leached out of the soils as a result of our continued, indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides.

As a result, we find ourselves eating more foods which are less nourishing. We are an overweight, seriously under-nourished culture whose fast food habits and suicidal life style has produced increasing rates of heart disease, cancers of all kinds, genetic mutations and a horrifying litany of related medical challenges. It is argued that these concerns are not properly considered since average life spans seem to be increasing. But it is clear from long-term studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet and other similar publications that much of the increase in longevity can be directly attributed to medical intervention and not as the result of any fundamental improvement in wellbeing.

Why do we allow this madness to continue? Because we value profit and political control more than we value our lives. It is as simple as that. In the West, we have demonstrated a singular arrogance. Our collective belief that we are the owners of the land rather than its custodians has long been bolstered by the scientific conceit which suggests that we are also its masters. In the same way we have allowed ourselves to believe we can exclude spirit stuff from our scientific paradigms, we have deluded ourselves into believing we are exempt from the consequences of our misbehaviors.
