   It is as if humans have become self aware sometime between then and   
   now.  Then it did not matter what humans did, nature was able to   
   absorb it all because humans were so few.   
      
   These days, humans know that ecosystems can be harmed, can die.  And   
   we know (some of us know) that humans in their billions can cause   
   that.   
      
   So it is time to choose.  Do humans forget it all, mumbling about   
   non-material wisdom.  Or do they forget it all, mumbling about the   
   most luxurious way to ride to work?  Or do they do something about   
   dying ecosystems?

   There seeming to be no way to go back to vast rivers and lands.
