Today, the classic book by Nobel Prize laureate Konrad Lorenz succinctly conveys a warning and very inspiring message. By comparing it to animal communities, it illustrates how today's civilization is harmful when it denies genetically determined human needs. The human animal not only depends on nature, whose massive destruction undermines its biological ability to survive, but also needs to live in a community that upholds cultural and value norms, without which it also perishes. The loss of aesthetic sensitivity, extreme individualism, and a consumer lifestyle in anonymous megaconglomerates lead to the breakdown of family and social cohesion, ultimately resulting in loneliness. However, humans are not adapted to life on an isolated island. Lorenz's non-dogmatic ecology is very relevant.
