Dear Malcolm,
I really enjoyed your recent posting on nondual ecology. I share with
you the conviction that the university exhibits a directional-developmental
tendency, one that will eventually require a serious overhaul of
neo-Darwinism. I've written about some of this in my book, CONTESTING
EARTH'S FUTURE; RADICAL ECOLOGY AND POSTMODERNITY that was published in
1994 by U. of California. Your views on technology also resonate with me,
especially the notion that "good and bad" are perspectival evaluations, not
matters of fact. I've been going through a long evolutionary process
myself regarding all these complex issues.
Perth--what a far off place. I've often thought about going there, just
to be so far away! Though, of course, being in Perth, I would still be
where I am! Hope all goes well with you.
Cheers, Michael Z
