"What we call 'normal' is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience. It is radically estranged from the structure of being. The more one sees this, the more senseless it is to continue with generalized descriptions of supposedly specifically schizoid, schizophrenic, hysterical 'mechanisms.' There are forms of alienation that are relatively strange to statistically 'normal' forms of alienation. The 'normally' alienated person, by reason of the fact that he acts more or less like everyone else, is taken to be sane. Other forms of alienation that are out of step with the prevailing state of alienation are those that are labeled by the 'formal' majority as bad or mad."

HOME

Indtil 14. juni kan Yann Arthus-Bertrand's film HOME ses på YouTube. En meget seværdig film om livet på denne planet og civilisationens fatale konsekvenser for dette liv.

Jeg er ikke helt enig i filmens konklusion. Teknologien har bragt os i den situation vi er i i dag. Jeg tror ikke, at den er det, der vil kunne redde os. Og bortset fra det, så tror jeg heller ikke, at det er fem minutter i tolv, men, desværre, fem minutter over. Hm ja, jeg tror faktisk, at "ræset er kørt"... For vores civilisation.

Uanset, se filmen!
