Deep Ecology vs. Human Progress vs, Interconnectedness

An interesting article at least raising the central points of Human Ecology.

However like so much in the modern press it only does enough to raise and problematise an issue.

Deep Ecology is more than just a reaction to Capitalist Economics. It is based upon this idea of "inter connectedness" that is raised in the article. It is not a simple idea, but one of such deep importance that Western Civilisation can be characterised as having developed without it.

"Inter-connectedness" changes the view of reality from "bricks" to the "whole" wall. As can be seen it challenges the basis of the Western civilisation and science as composed from discrete things, atoms, things, individuals.

"Deep Ecology" is not discussing "Human vs Nature" as the article instructs its reader but rather looks at the "whole" picture of Human And Nature.

Ideas of "progress" have no place in this view. How can you progress from point A to point B when A and B are part of the whole. You can only progress from point A to point B when you are stuck at point A.

"Deep Ecology" is "deep".

Wanted to know the pattern of UN votes over Venezuela and then got into seeing if ChatGPT could see the obvious pattern of Imperialism here....
