Livingston makes a rational case, showing that our collective cult of self-supremacy is at the root of our war against nature. He's passionate and states things clearly. I took notes. But he concludes that without complete eradication of supremism from our collective minds, all efforts to "save," "protect," or "conserve" nature are just part of the problem. With that, only the ongoing effort of mental rectification is of any avail. As a professor on the subject, he explains: "I carry within me a prosthetic implant, to be sure, but apart from that I am whole, and the prosthesis itself can be erased and reprogrammed. ... Since this is not a physical but an intellectual challenge, I shall simply have to think them away." I wish him luck, but suspect that doing practical things that nurture life can actually help with that.
