(emphasis author’s)  When he becomes coldly practical, discards his beliefs and rites, begins measuring and counting things accurately, building efficient machinery, inventing weapons of mass destruction, sending men to the moon, and burning up more of the earth’s oxygen than its plant life can replace, he has also begun warming up the wax that will seal his own fate.”  Amen, brother, Amen.  A hardcover copy of this volume is also available.  See  https://joethebookguy.com/shop/hunter-gatherer/the-hunting-peoples/
