Humanity’s attempted dominance over nature is becoming a
problem—attempted because we think that we are in control whereas, in
fact, we are disturbing natural ecologies to such an extent that we
are creating biological and biophysical systems that will be hostile
to our survival as a civilization and as a species.
This illusion of control and its consequences have been the concern of
Daniel Lim, the principal of a consulting firm that specializes in the
“advance of social justice through nature-based whole systems change.”
Lim is not worried so much about biological systems as sociological
ones, and how some cultures rise to such power that they dominate and
obliterate smaller ones. History is replete with examples of these
“supremacy cultures” and the social injustices that they create as a
result of exercising their power and influence. But what is the
alternative?
