Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.
When I work alone it can be like dabbling with a canvas. Maybe you paint over bits and it starts to form its own life and lead you off in a direction. It becomes an intuitive subconscious process.
We have need of history in its entirety not to fall back into it but to see if we can escape from it.
