Erosion

Erosion includes not only genetic erosion and the erosion of species, soils, and the atmosphere, but also the erosion of knowledge and the global erosion in equitable relations. We are losing both our biological resources and our eco-specific knowledge of those resources.

Technology

Nanotechnology, which refers to molecular or atomic engineering of both living and non-living resources, has the potential to vitiate the relevance of biomaterials (for those in power) on the assumption that the world's needs can be met through an infinite supply of self-assembling materials. From our perspective, these technologies have "advanced" by way of sequential declensions from seeds to genes to atoms.

Concentration

Concentration describes the re-organization of economic power into the hands of high-tech global oligopolies. The interplay between vanishing bioresources, life-dominating new technologies, and the emergence of ever more powerful concentrations of economic control is driving social and political change.
