Buckminster Fuller often emphasized that the way of cultural
transformation is not so much in fighting against destructive attitudes and
practices, but in recognizing them as being obsolete and offering positive,
higher-level alternatives. The competitive, violent, commodifying mentality of
the ancient herding cultures is, in our age of nuclear weapons and global
interconnectedness, profoundly obsolete, as is eating the animal foods of these
old cultures, which are unhealthy in the extreme both to our body-minds and to
our precious planetary ecology.
