To be or to be not...that is the question. Do we as a species live for the future or does humanity thus risk extinction? That was the question that entered my consciousness upon completion of Edward O. Wilson’s Future of Life. Almost two decades ago, this book was published. It probed at an issue that wasn’t novel at that time nor has it been reprimanded at this point in time. Within this book, Wilson raises concerns about the environment and even provides possible remedial plans. Written in…

Edward O. Wilson’s ‘’The future of life” is centered on two sides, the Environmentalist and the People-First critics. Wilson uses common logical fallacies, figurative language and satire to callously scorn both the “environmental wakos” and the “Brown lashers” for having weak arguments that do not suggest a solution to a better environment. In “The future of life”, Wilson’s use of “name calling” in lines 1-8 and lines 37-44 to directly attack each side is an example of ad-hominem. Wilson uses…

According to Hubert Humphrey, “Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.” However, when two parties start debating an issue, but neither are willing to compromise, the result is an argument in which nothing is accomplished. Within his work, The Future of Life, Edward O. Wilson wrote two contradictory passages that he set side by side to emphasize the underlying satiristic properties of each and make them easy to compare. One demeans environmentalists and one…

Some really old guy once said something about the unexamined life being a life not worth living, therefore I’m examining my future goals hoping that is what he was talking about. The sad reality of being a mortal is simply that we will one day perish and be laid in the earth to be forgotten. Everyone wishes and wants for more time to roam this world in which we live, however that is simply impossible. It is much better to make the most of time and live life to its absolute fullest. Nearly…
