I spoke with spirits today, and previously [1063], about the human race being worse than wild animals because humans are living upside down, but wild animals according to order. For humans love to uproot the whole society for their own sake, while wild animals do not, except certain species when driven by hunger, for whom other animals are designated by the order [of nature] as food. In short, it can be demonstrated by many circumstances that humankind, when left to themselves unrestrained, are much worse than what savage wild animals of the forest are intrinsically.
