The Arrogance of Humanism - David Ehrenfeld

• All problems are soluble by people
• Many problems are soluble by technology
• Those problems that are not soluble by technology alone, have solutions in the social world (politics, economics)
• When the chips are down, we will apply ourselves and work together for a solution before it is too late
• Some resources are infinite; all finite or limited resources have substitutes
• Human civilization will survive
