"The distubring fact that the drama has been completed and the main revolutionary act is behind us."  

"How to understand the active role of human agency not only in the construction of facts, but also in the very existence of the phenomenon those facts are trying to denounce?"

"Our utter impotence when confronted with the ecologial threat"  ... "human actors may arrive too late on the stage to have any remedial role"

Latour says that the most crucial task is to "distribute agency as far and in as differential a way as possible", what does he mean by this and how can we achive this?
