i’m not emphatically green OR religious, but this post has got to be one of the most uneducated, lamest things i’ve ever read. way to rack up more than 6 unsubstantiated-claims-masquerading-as-philosophy in a single post, ya tool.

Global warming, carbon neutral, low emissions, eco-friendly…

Are these things important because the health of the Earth itself is important, or because an unhealthy Earth is dangerous for humans?

That is: What is your highest value? Man or Earth? If you had to pick one, which would you pick? If what’s best for man is what’s worst for the Earth, would you do it anyway?

You cannot have two highest values, because when a conflict of interests arises, you have to pick one or the other. So if you value your marriage and you also value beer, how do you decide when your spouse says, “If you don’t stop drinking, I’m leaving you”?

Many people’s highest value is something external to themselves that has nothing to do with them, and may not even be real. From birth, they hear slogans from people who could benefit from their self-sacrifice. The obvious example of this is religion, and is why most religious people are so neurotic. When I see a raving crazy person in the city, who is invariably talking about God, I think to myself, “a complete Christian”. He has fully given himself up and with predictable consequences.

Fortunately, “green” is a mere craze that will soon pass. It is a marketing tool designed to prey on your guilt. Like any fad, people will soon get bored of it and move on to the next gimmick.
