When the world is bound together this tightly, everyone’s values and behavior matter more than ever, because they impact so many more people than ever.... We’ve gone from connected to interconnected to ethically interdependent. (Dov Seidman, quoted by Thomas Friedman source, via Randy Williams)
Journer: What’s the real difference between “connected,” “interconnected,” and “ethically interdependent”?
Nez: “Ethically interdependent” means humanity now lives on death ground—mostly in denial of that fact. Further irresponsibility means impending disaster for more and more species, even humans.
Namaste.
