We're trapped in a dying habitat-all 8.2 billion of us. Why did we do this to ourselves? Envious and Deceived: How Classical Education and Psychoanalysis Could Have Saved Us is a study of society's suicide. It shows how humanity's envy and self-deception let it destroy our habitat by overpopulation. Classical Education and Psychoanalysis were meant to curtail self-deception. But we rejected both institutions because they imposed tensions, stresses, or anxieties intolerable to a critical mass of society. Without those mentors, the culture could indulge its denial of deadly realities. The deadliest reality, the most anthrocidal, was overshoot - humanity's explosion into a behemoth bio-economic system far too large for the earth to sustain.
