3 questions from John Zerzan (and one from Albert Einstein, too)

Albert Einstein asks: “How it is conceivable that all our lauded technological progress—our very Civilization—is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal?”

I was recently re-reading a review I wrote in 2002 of Running on Emptiness, by John Zerzan. In that review, I listed three questions Zerzan posed in the book...so I figured: why not post those same questions here for discussion?

Why do humans ignore the nature of their bodies and minds?

Has one single man-made item been a necessary improvement on the earth?

Why do we put the survival of all species in peril for our exclusive comfort and gratification?

P.S. June is International Expendable Writing Month. Rosemarie (RMJ) has gotten busy with this...so turn off that TV and write.
