And the crisis of human society, you know, we've talked for ages about money and sex and power and actually labelling those three areas of life like that is itself part of the problem.
Because when we're talking about money we really ought to be talking about resources; when we're talking about sex we really ought to be talking about relationships; when we're talking about power we really ought to be talking about responsibilities.
Resources, relationships, responsibilities - we have shrunk those things, classic post-Enlightenment stuff, into just money, just sex, just power.
