Envious and Deceived: How Classical Education and Psychoanalysis Could Have Saved Us

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 humanity’s first psychological autopsy. Envy tormented us, and we craved mass suicide by overpopulation. We fostered self-deception to hide the atrocity from ourselves. Classical Education and Psychoanalysis were meant to curtail self-deception. But we rejected both institutions because they imposed tensions, stresses, or anxieties intolerable to the weak modern mind. Free of those cultural restraints, society lapsed into gross 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 Earth to support.
