Industrialization:
"Industry has been identified with people trying to make money rather than with people trying to make the world work. … Humans are in the middle among nature’s creatures; they have no integral equipment but can sense principles. Other biological species… various organisms’ behaviors… all systems alter other systems: this is the essence of evolution.
"The organics take on more energy than the nonbiologicals; they alter the environment more and in discrete ways like the spider’s web. The mine is part of the mole. The nest is part of the bird.
"Man is unique in his ability to alter the design of the artifacts. Tools are part of the human beings. But the human can only produce what nature permits him to produce. The relative crudity (95 percent) is part of the learning.
“It is very misinformative to refer to industrialization as in terms of profits. Profit is just taking the input from the many for the advantage of the few… I shudder when I hear people say we must give up industrialization and go”
