PSM“People get angry at environmentalists because they think they’re slowing down the economy and creating restrictions and a lot of these people are Christian. A lot of these people are very devout Christians and that’s such a confusing thing to me—that if you believed that God gave you the Earth, that God created the Earth for you, why would you not have to look after it? … Why would you not think that when he came back he wouldn’t go, ‘What the fuck did you do? I GAVE THIS TO YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! ARE YOU CRAZY? THE POLAR BEARS ARE BROWN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE POLAR BEARS? Did you shit all over every polar bear?’” —Louis C.K. Bodily and ecological damage happens before our eyes, and yet we can remain oblivious of this fact. The surface, of skin or landscape, can be tranquil and evince normalcy, while all the while be in tumult at a more fundamental level. Maybe this situation is necessitated by our need for superficiality in routine life, or maybe our base narcissistic impulses are activated by problematic circumstances that take away from our sense of security.
