Not Entirely Sold on the Title of That Last Post

"The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Anthropocentrically Selfish In Nature."

Is it?

Are we sure that's what we want to say about it? Are we sure that's how we want to put it?

Are we sure it isn't that The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Selfishly Anthropocentric In Nature? Or perhaps The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Selfish and Anthropocentric In Nature.

That "In Nature" is a bit confusing as well. It sounds like we're talking about the environment. Which, needless to say we are. But not in that sense, not the word "nature" as used there. It's more like "in essence", "at its core."

The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Fundamentally Selfish and Anthropocentric.

Ooo! That's nice. Except "Fundamentally" has the perfumed incense of religion wafting about it. Which is fine - I'm quite religious! - but it doesn't fit the post, really.

The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Essentially Selfish and Anthropocentric.

Accurate. But sounds a bit weak.

The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Totally Fucking Selfish and Anthropocentric.

Hm. Strident, maybe. A bit strident.

Ah, I'll leave it as it is. For now.

EDIT: No I won't. I changed it.

The Current Phase of Environmentalism Is Essentially Selfish and Anthropocentric.

EDIT2: But wait, "The Current Phase of"?? When has it NOT been? I should just take that out. Environmentalism Is Essentially Selfish and Anthropocentric.

Except, I don't feel like environmentalism must needs be selfish and anthropocentric. That's just they way we've always done it, but it could be done in other ways that are not selfish, or not anthropocentric. Not that I'm advocating that! I'm just saying.

Aha! I have it: Our Supposedly Altruistic Environmentalism Is In Fact Selfish and Anthropocentric! Or maybe...Our Environmentalism Is...

Our Ostensibly Altruistic Environmentalism Is Essentially Selfish and Anthropocentric? Which Makes It No Less Virtuous.

Hm. Too much editorializing. I'll just go with the first part.

Environmental issues have never been more complicated than in the present day.
