The first result of this illusion (of being isolated "egos") is
that our attitude to the world "outside" us is largely hostile.
We are forever "conquering" nature, space, mountains,
deserts, bacteria, insects instead of learning to cooperate
with them in a harmonious order. In America
the great symbols of this conquest are the bulldozer
and the rocket.
