43. EcologicalImperative: The design principlesofacting
“Our acting in these days shall be guided (by this ecological imperative): Act only to the maximethat the consequences foster the development of a global system of solidarityor at least don’t hinder it. Act only to the maximethat the usual practice of exploitation and externalisationcan be substituted by an ethos of global protection. Act only to the maximethat no time is lost in the inevitable transformation which is in the interest of all.“
Peter Sloterdjik, philosopher, 2013
