Summary

This quote highlights the concept of personal responsibility as a corollary to freedom. It acknowledges that while freedom is valuable, the challenge lies in fostering personal responsibility without imposing it on individuals. It raises questions about how to encourage individuals to take ownership of their actions and choices, without infringing upon their autonomy. This suggests the need for finding a delicate balance between allowing individuals the freedom to make their own decisions while also cultivating a sense of accountability towards the consequences of those decisions.

Humanity is a biological species, living in a biological environment, because like all species, we are exquisitely adapted in everything: from our behavior, to our genetics, to our physiology, to that particular environment in which we live. The earth is our home. Unless we preserve the rest of life, as a sacred duty, we will be endangering ourselves by destroying the home in which we evolved, and on which we completely depend.
