"People no longer know information that's vital to sustain life such as how to grow their own food; how to find drinkable water; what's in their food; how to build a fire and keep warm; how to survive in the natural environment..because of this 'Information deficit,' we are all out of touch with reality and are also standing on a dangerous shelf of oil-dependent, corporate-induced information starvation" (126).
2. The Lives of Ancient People (186-191)
"In our Younger Culture, we value productivity and individual possession. In their Older Culture, they value community. Most "modern" people find it difficult or impossible to imagine a world where community is more important than possessions, yet this is how about 1 percent of the world's population still lives, and how all of your and my ancestors lived for 100,000 years" (188).
3. Power V.S Cooperation in Social Structure: The City-state vs. Tribes (192-221)
"Consider that the most important of all tribal values is that the aim of the culture is to provide safety and security for its members, and the job of each member is to make sure the culture can continue to provide safety and security to all" (212).
