Fundamental question

Concerned about the functioning of the human mind while environmental degradation is very concrete things may seem incongruous. However, this is certainly the key to the problem.

The general tendency to seek comfort, luxury, ease, money, power, freedom, security, consideration, enjoyment in all areas is the very engine of our consumer society. Not that we had to live without all the benefits of progress, it would also be contrary to human nature.

The solution is to be sought in relations of strength: of what comfort, of what luxury, of what enjoyments do we really need to ensure our happiness and our development? It is in the imbalance between desire and satisfaction, aspiration and achievement, fantasy and reality that the causes of the present ecological impasse are hidden.

As soon as selfish tendencies take precedence over empathy, sharing, respect for others and our Mother Nature, the machine of progress is drifting away. Human ecogenetics explores this complex dynamic and seeks to clarify the reasons why the balance that would seem ideal remains so difficult to achieve in reality, at least on a large scale. Only knowledge of the root causes of the ecosystem spiral that takes us in its course will restore a durables order.

That is why the questions asked here are among the most fundamental in view of the future of man and the planet.
