"We all intuitively sense that there is something fundamentally unhealthy
and unsustainable with the way our human cultures pollute and destroy
the planet, but most of us do not have the moral courage to admit that
we’re part of the problem. Cognitive dissonance too easily slips in and
pacifies us against the discomfort. And so the vicious cycle continues.
This dissonance is so powerful that it compels people to remain ignorant
to a great many things. The majority of us think we know the way the
world works, when really we have forgotten that everything is connected.
This can be extremely dangerous."
