In these comments on the ‘Dark Mountain Manifesto’ of Kingsnorth and Hine (2014), and its authors’ reflection on it five years later, I point out the origin of the three ‘myths’ of progress, human centrality, and separation from nature (as ‘environment’). I see a straightforward relationship between these myths with the organizational myth of ‘human resources’ in which people at work are seen as a trainable energy source of dubious motivation, rather than an embodied consciousness in unceasing transformation and self-development.
