To be a little kinder and more understanding, people have every reason to feel lost in a world in which change, social, economic and technological, is unprecedented and forever accelerating. One would have to be stupid and insensitive never to feel alienated. Alienated by the take-over of our lives by alien forces that have no longer any connection with our human bodies, our minds or our shared household.
As far as I’m concerned, this compels humans to stop messing around and ask ourselves the most basic questions: What, who are we? What do we think we are doing here? What do we really need? What do we really want? Especially the first question. The others flow from it.
