The Ostrich principle ?
It’s a calumny on ostriches, who don’t bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches.
But today’s world does seem to work like that in so many ways. Those in power refuse to see how the money system works, how the economy works, and how the planet’s atmosphere and oceans work.
To that list, George Monbiot adds biology pathological to humans.
Two questions;
1) is avoiding deadly pandemic essential to human life?
2) is mink fur essential to human life?
Monbiot argues that the answers are currently ‘No’ and ‘Yes’ but in a sane world they should be ‘Yes’ and ‘No’.
Ostriches would be insane to not avoid obvious danger. So has global society become insane?
