There are two related crises in today's world. The first and most visible is the population/environment crisis. The sec ond, more subtle but equally lethal, is humankind's rela tionships to its extensions, institutions, ideas, as well as the relationships among the many individuals and groups that inhabit the globe.
If both crises are not resolved, neither will be. Despite our faith in technology and our reliance on technological solutions, there are no technical solutions to most of the problems confronting human beings. Furthermore, even those technical solutions that can be applied to environ-mental problem can't be applied rationally until mankind transcends the intellectual limitations imposed by our insti-tutions, our philosophies, and our cultures. Compounding all of this is the reality of politics.
