Yes, environmental problems do constrain human societies, but the societies' responses also make a difference. Jared Diamond
One thing only do I know for certain and that is that man's judgments of value follow directly his wishes for happiness-that, accordingly, they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments. [p.111] Sigmund Freud
