"Our progress, then, has been largely a rational and intellectual affair, and this one-sided evolution has now reached a highly alarming stage, a situation so paraxidocal that is borders insanity.
We can control the soft landings of space craft on distance planets, but we are unable to control the polluting fumes emanating from our cars and factories.
We propose Utopian communities in gigantic space colonies, but (we) cannot manage our cities...
Those are the results of overemphasizing our 'yang', or masculine side - rational knowledge, analysis, expansion - and neglecting our 'ying', or feminine side - intuitive, wisdom, synthesis, and ecological awareness "
~Fritjof Capra, 1982~
