The ABCs of human survival

Martin Luther King Jr.’s concise and memorable statement describes the choice we face as human beings: “We must learn to live together as brothers, or perish together as fools.”
A great deal of twentieth-century history, and early evidence from this century, suggests that as a species we are choosing the second option. And we seem to be making this choice unconsciously, almost completely unaware that we are even involved in a process of
choosing. We see the consequences of our choice but fail to recognize them as such, and fail to understand where they are taking us.
