When integrated holistically, a passion and love for cultural studies and ­environmentalism is a serious mental disorder inflicting scholars, teachers, preachers, politicians, activists, and children. For the purposes of this chapter, let us call this disorder the "ecological mentalism¹ paradox"! It is more dangerous than malaria, the common cold, and the flu. These diseases combined are very treacherous for humans and yet the impacts of disease are far outweighed by the results of many people's shattering disorders, attitudes, and behaviors toward other human and nonhuman lives. Diseases and cultural disorders are analogous in that they are both highly resilient, adaptive, and will continue to evolve within different conditions, during different periods of time, and in light of the "antibiotics' applied by researchers and academics who endorse them over human history.
