CR (Buzz) Nixon speculated on how mankind might become ecocentric. He felt immediate self-interest would have to be put aside and replaced with concern for long-term stability of the ecosystems that sustain us, but that the process would not be a smooth transition.
He concluded, “Much as it may be disturbing to pursue these lines of thought about cerebral evolution of Homo sapiens, it may be that this is the way that such an evolution is bound to or can only occur, i.e., not in an orderly manner, but in more or less an explosive or apocalyptic manner. Those who do not or can not make the adjustment to this evolutionary step will disappear according to the survival of the fittest, just as Darwin might have suggested had he continued his work into assessing and commenting on the future of evolution of Home sapiens.”
