Truthfully......

There are many variables that increase the overly toxic build up in the environment, but none like overpopulation. As far as what we are seeing on the media......there are many variables that has changed over the years that has caused many to feel insecure. Greed from those that hold powerful control has cost many jobs to leave the country and many people to become additional residents. Increased poverty has caused serious social disruption that has lead to many disturbing conditions that includes non-violent offenders being put behind bars. The reaction from most of the population to most situations has been severe reactions no matter the situation. Fueled by a direct lack of knowledge or ignoring the facts.

So for short were "F'd"... like why are we letting bad organizations buy peaceful protester so cheap and all dressed up in full gear?

From a purely evolutionary perspective, mammals tend to evolve into something else or go extinct in what would be short geologic time. Humans have the unique capacity to delay or hasten this evolution. One possible outcome is that humans have conquered disease and increased life span so much so that the planet becomes over populated and runs out of resources. Ah, the irony of progress. We are the ultimate cockroach. Matter what we do to ourselves and our planet, some will survive.

No need to bold or to shout. What is your point?

Knowledge is disputable.

Knowledge is disputable.

And malleable. Panicky people make bad decisions. Whenever I encounter a person who engages in ad hominen attack, I regard that person as panicky and irrational.

I'm thinking you didn't mean to shout that... not the kind of thing one shouts. I remember hearing that ignorance is always arrogant... and the more I thought about it the more sense it made. It was years ago that I heard it. That is, in application of having the illusion of knowledge... not a simple matter of not being aware.

 

[slow_jazz]

Yes.

I can see the logic here, but do you advocate some kind of solution or just believe we should let nature take it's course and the Earth will self correct - even if humanity is a casualty?

I am certain that there will be 3 species proliferating and prospering on our poor Earth.

Cockroaches,
Assholes,
and
Idiots.

Choose your own proportions.

I would opine that you have overlooked rats.

I have a fascination with spaces deep inside the earth. Once you're over a mile in, the only life you'll encounter are rats, and the occasional ringtail(mine cat) that is their only predator that deep.

Just my opinion. The Earth is constantly self correcting, and more specifically, Nature is..
Humanity is abusing it in the name of Progress, but progress is a necessary evil..
Is there a solution? Of course.. But not just one.. look at the 'little picture' once in awhile, and find a solution(for that issue)..
Will Humanity be a casualty.? Probably not, but maybe.. there will always be casualties, in all forms of life, not just human..
We are guests here, part of a system beyond our comprehension(for now)..

All of our eggs are in one basket as long as we're earth bound, we must diversify or die as the old addage goes.

It's curious how many ignore the true elephant in the room.

Where i live the background radiation was around 1cpm circa 1970, that increased to 6 or 7cpm after the Chernobyl incident, and averages 15+ cpm today.

So are you thinking that we won't have to wait for the supernova then? I guess that I'm going to need to stock up on more dark rum.

Amusingly, Hans Zimmer's last name means "room" in German.

Japan is about to add to that.

I'm not sure where 'Behind the Shed' is, but a different perspective..
My dad was put in a foxhole, not far from an atomic weapon exploding, Camp Desert Rock.. Nevada
Some were given goggles, others were not.. they were all told to stay down, and cover their eyes in the bend of their elbows..
Some stood up to see the event..
A decade after Japan..
I am not angry, anymore...

People have been predicting the end of the world for as long as anyone can remember. Today, it's mostly about fear. Fear makes people put their heads down, which is the easiest way to manage billions of people.

As bad as this "virrus" is, we're managing it far better than previous pandemics.
