The Humanities in the Age of Loneliness (Combating ecological and constitutional crises)

1. Awesome article, here's another section:

Climate change is not an isolated, apolitical phenomenon, but a symptom, byproduct, and intensifier of a much larger social, legal, and philosophical collapse. The erosion and deliberate attack on fundamental constitutional principles, identified by historian Jill Lepore as political equality, natural rights, and popular sovereignty, has directly contributed to the acceleration of climate change. As we abandon such egalitarian principles, we fail to protect ourselves not only politically but also ecologically.

Oh my gosh! The problem is quite serious. As our country drifts toward a soulless Apartheid regime, we sure do need the humanities.
