I believe: That just as there are an infinite number of points between any given two points on a line segment, so too does any temporal segment of our lives offer infinite experience--we're just not keen enough to pick it all up. That we owe a debt, out of common humanity, to those less fortunate than us. That environmental unsustainability means dramatically and dangerously reducing the quality and security of life for future generations and in doing so endangers human civilization as we know it. That furthermore said environmental unsustainability runs much deeper than any single red flag issue on the environmental platform but rather is deeply rooted in the way we see daily economic decisions, time, personal and communal responsibilities, and human beings relationship with nature in both a practical and a spiritual sense. That life is a miracle. That almost all of the world's problems in some way or another spring from ignorance, denial, and inherited prejudices--and I believe that because, and I've said it before, there are people in the world who, if you knew them, you would love, and having loved them you would pay dearly to see their lives bettered--in less hippy-ish terms I mean that if there were no barriers to conveyance of human experience (opportunity costs, transaction costs, information distortion, the obvious limitations of human language...) good-hearted people would act to ease and/or prevent their fellows' sufferings. That the world needs to change fundamentally.
