Andreas SternowskiMany people realize that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worldview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#worldview</a> of our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/materialistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#materialistic</a> science explains only one facet of their inner <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reality</a>. They develop a longing for something <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sacred</a>, something enduring, something deeply their own. They find the idea that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> has an independent moral and spiritual meaning convincing. Hopefully, these people will join the ecological movement and turn it into <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spiritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#spiritual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a>.

Andreas SternowskiWhat can <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spiritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#spiritual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a> do in concrete terms?If the evil lies in our assumptions, in our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worldview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#worldview</a>, then that is where we must start. That is why <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#education</a> is the first concrete measure. As a society, we have become entrenched in a stubborn <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/materialistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#materialistic</a> way of thinking. But even convinced materialists must admit that this attitude toward <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> has put our planet in danger. So the solution lies in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rethinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rethinking</a>. Viewing all life as something <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sacred</a> is a reasonable alternative.

Adamas NemesisPeople love to hate being "materialistic", but notice that "minimalism" is only ever preached to the poor, not the rich; that's because the whole idea, once you remove the sugarcoating, is to inure yourself to being a serf who's never allowed to have anything nice.Image is of Geneviève Lantelme for the April 1907 cover of Les Modes.<a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/minimalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#minimalism</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/materialistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#materialistic</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/thoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thoughts</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#life</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lifestyle</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#society</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/beautifulwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beautifulwoman</a> <a href="https://social.adamasnemesis.com/tags/beautifulgirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beautifulgirl</a>
