DESCRIPTION:\n\nEARTH AWARENESS and Climate Change Reality\nfor Science Fans\nPresented 
 by the Fellowship of Humanity\n \nThe Vicious Circle Principle\n\nJoin us 
 for a scintillating conversation about a book that explains with courageous 
 truth how our species developed in relationship to the environment from 
 rock-carving hunter-gatherers to rocket-launching denizens of the 
 industrial world.  And learn what homo sapiens have in common, from their 
 earliest beginnings to the present, in being locked into a cycle of surplus 
 development, overpopulation, technology development, environmental 
 degradation, resource depletion, scarcity, and therefore pressure to 
 develop new technology, which invariably leads to more surplus, 
 overpopulation, and so on, a cycle that the author of this book calls 
 “the vicious circle,” and his theory “the vicious circle 
 principle.”  The book is Too Smart for Our Own Good, The Ecological 
 Predicament of Humankind, by Craig Dilworth.  If you haven’t read it yet 
 but are interested in the origins and fate of our species at the end of the 
 fossil fuel age, then this is an opportunity for you to be introduced to 
 this paradigm-shattering book that explores the human patterns that have 
 caused desecration of the environment from the extinction of large mammals 
 by hunter-gatherers to today’s global warming.\n\n$5 donations are 
 requested\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/10/18/18724049.php
