We are designed to be complacent about the environment

That is the conclusion of an excellent article on the psychology of human thinking by Chris Goodall writing in the Open Economics section of www.OpenDemocracy.net.

I found myself nodding in agreement right the way through this well structured and well argued article that describes, amongst many other things, why "Human beings seem to have a psychological predisposition towards believing matters will eventually turn out well."

Thoroughly thought provoking and definitely worthy of a full read.
