Our endangered humanity

There’s lots of talk these days about endangered plants, animals, species, and entire ecosystems. And it’s all true. Even the habitability of our planet itself is endangered. These are serious issues.

But just as important is the fact that our humanity itself might well be endangered. As chaos and conflict divide our social world, the stress burden on the human animal increases by the day. In the process, we become distracted from our good nature and fall into a quagmire of mental and social illness. In the process, we’re in real danger of forgetting who we are and what we’re doing on this planet.

This is what Radically Human is all about. In the weeks to come, we’ll be posting intriguing conversations about the human predicament and ways that we might save our humanity in the face of ecological and social catastrophe.
