مفهوم زندگی‌

 هوشیاریِ ما نسبت به محیط اطرافمان ما را بر آن می‌دارد که هر لحظه در هر آنچه که به ما مربوط می‌شود تغییری دهیم تا آنرا برای زندگی‌ خود مساعد‌تر سازیم. بدین منظور به طبیعت دست می‌بریم؛ به رود‌ها سدّ می‌زنیم و تپه‌ها را هموار می‌کنیم و گیاهان را رشد می‌دهیم و حیوانات را اهلی می‌کنیم، و بر هر آنچه جهان فیزیکی‌ را برای ما قابل زندگی‌تر می‌کند تغییری می‌دهیم.ا

Robert W. McChesney (1952–2025): A Personal and Political-Intellectual Memoir

      December 6, 2025
John Bellamy Foster
Robert (Bob) Waterman McChesney and I met each other in September 1973, within days of his arrival at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, where I had been studying for two years. Bob was 21 and I had just turned 20. We immediately became fast friends. Bob had grown up in a conservative environment in suburban Cleveland, where his father, Samuel Parker McChesney, sold advertising for This Week magazine. His mother Edna (Meg) McChesney (née McCorkle) was a nurse but left nursing to become a homemaker before he was born. After attending high school at Pomfret, a private boarding (prep) school in Connecticut, he enrolled in college at Antioch in Ohio, transferring from there to Evergreen.
