Saving Life

This book is about achieving a viable future within the Biological system of the Living Earth for the generations of humans yet to come. If that is what we decide to do. LIFE itself is an emergent manifestation of a balanced, collaborative Biosystem, and climate change is real - as real as the pandemic - and both are aspects of the same human Problem. The sustainable solution for that Problem is to re-build our human social system so that it is embedded within a human world view that honors the survival needs of LIFE. To do that, we must understand what the Biosystem is and what it requires for its survival. Just as our physiology must maintain its balance in order to sustain its life, so the entire Biosystem must maintain its balance in order to sustain the whole of LIFE. Our current human social system (the corposystem) is operating under a faulty interpretation of the naive and inaccurate meme, Survival of the Fittest. The corposystem is using its powerful technologies to fight against the Biosystem. It won t work. No matter how hard we try. Dr. Lynn Lamoreux is a pioneer in the biology and genetics of pigmentation and of minorities in research science; a retired teacher of large basic biology classes and of individual graduate students; and a Chaplain to the Biosystem.
