○ Draft for quote project
■ This quote provides an anthropo-technocentric viewpoint of
environmental value. This means that the speaker believes that humanity
is above nature, and understands the damage we’re causing to the planet
we live on, but believes that if humanity continues evolving that
eventually we’ll have the technology to solve those issues, and with stable
and rich enough population and governments that we will be able to
handle the environmental issues at hand once we have those resources.
