Bolivia's President Evo Morales delivered a keynote address to the United Nations forum on Indigenous People in which he proclaimed "if we want to save our planet earth, to save life, we have a duty to put an end to the capitalist system and the unbridled prosperity that is killing the planet."
In its place, Morales urged people to “live our lives the way nature intended—solitary, nasty, brutish, and short.”
The Bolivian president dismissed objections as “excessively human-centric.” “Humans have an over-inflated sense of their own importance,” Morales said. “They don’t realize that their lives and happiness are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. We are all just temporary occupiers of space, using and reusing atoms that have existed for billions of years and will continue to exist for billions of years after we are dead.”
Morales asserted that human consciousness is “destabilizing” and that the sooner it is eliminated, the safer it will be for the planet “to live out its natural life.”
