1		-The AFF is rife with examples of a thematic framing of human beings as benevolent protectors of the environment – monitoring, manipulating and controlling nature to ensure it functions in a systematically predictable way. This is a dangerous illusion that promotes futile managerial approaches to an untameable natural world.

7		-Next, the AFF's attempt to unify nature around a “sustainable” solution to ecological catastrophe fantasises the existence of a singular, harmonious Nature, rather than coming to terms with the facticity of multiple, contingent Natures. This presupposition mandates the imagining of ecological Armageddon as a tactic to stave off a more vital project of reimagining our relationship to the Earth.

29		-The result of this eclipse of Being is a Will, which reduces the world to a stable and predictable “Standing Reserve”. This ontology represents a constant consumption, which renders all beings objects—setting the tone for warfare and environmental destruction in the wake of the rejection of Being itself.

36		-The alternative is to do nothing. Don't be fooled – this isn't a question of passivity but of a releasement from the Will to Technology and an openness to the mystery of Being which transcends activity. Only such an ontological disarmament inaugurates new modes of revealing that don't depend on nature's subordination to human motivations.
