> This means changing our relationship with the other entities in the universe – whether animal, vegetable or mineral – from one of exploitation through science to one of solidarity in ignorance. If we fail to do this, we will continue to wreak havoc on the planet, threatening the ways of life we hold dear, and even our very existence. If we discover another epoch-making asteroid on a trajectory that intersects with Earth, I'd prefer that someone exploit the hell out of it with science instead of standing in solidarity in "ignorance" with the minerals.
