Social echo dynamics always rest on physico-chemical ecological constraints

Evidence

It is the presence of a double ground conditioning our existence on planet Earth that was (re)discovered by ecological consciousness over the course of the twentieth century. As important as the play of echoes may be in the organization of human society, they always depend in the last resort on the constraints of the eco-, which is to say, on the physico-chemical oikos on which our existence is based. — Yves Citton, The Ecology of Attention, 555
