Question#1 : How, according to Ishmael, can we save the world? And according to you?
"Then here is the program: The story of Genesis must be reversed. First, Cain must stop murdering Abel. This is essential if your to survive. The Leavers are the endangered species most critical to the world- not because they're humans but because they alone can show the destroyers of the world that there is no one right way to live. And then, of course, you must spit out the fruit of that forbidden tree. You must absolutely and forever relinquish the idea you know who should live and who should die on this planet." (Ishmael, 248) This quote means according to Ishmael is the way we can save the world is to go back to being leavers. However people are not going to want to go back to how they how leavers were which were hunter gatherers and doing everything the hard way. Since were advancing the technology people are getting comfortable doing everything the easy way. Also by reducing the population of humans because were rapidly increasing.
Question #2: How should people live? According to Ishmael? You?
People should live as leavers so we can reduce the harm were doing to the world. For example consume only the food that is necessary use more environmentally friendly products. Also to be clean and not just leave trash anywhere because there just going to end up in the ocean and its going to end up hurting the sea animals.
