Agreed, but resist the temptation to murder someone over one………unless it’s a really awesome cheese enchilada with rice, beans, and sopapillas with honey for dessert.

I’m not sure “unwillingness” is the right word. It may be more a case of not being a part of the thought process.

Enchiladas have now joined parking spaces, loud music, video games and chicken sandwiches on the list of things humans have killed one another over. Homo sapiens remains one of the more aspirational names in taxonomy.

Because technology is now viewed as essential. For many people (including me), it is. If technology went away, nearly all of us would die. Even a supply chain disruption in essential medicines would quickly kill hundreds of millions of people.

Sabre-tooth cats were a part of global ecosystems for 40-45M years. Hominids have been around for 6. Ecological reorganizations don’t care about longevity.

It would apply to both ecosystems and technology. Degradation of ecosystems mirrors the increases in technology.

I think the speed of change has long ago outstripped genetic evolution, but it is now doing the same with cultural.

……or human. :(

They weren’t hunters. They were ghouls with guns.

It’s a big deal in some geographic areas.

We cannot uninvent ourselves. We cannot uninvent what we already know. The central problem of the technological age may be that every generation inherits more powerful tools—but essentially the same animal.

I’ve heard speculation on this and earthquakes in the Yellowstone area my entire life. It seems that all anyone can say with any precision is that it is a geologically “active” area.

Perspective awaits us.

We’ve created a world of delusions. Most people don’t understand that concept.

Since 2012, at least 2,375 people have been killed or disappeared defending land and the environment. Sometimes protecting wildlife means protecting it from habitat loss, mining, logging or poaching. Sometimes it means protecting it from other people.

My essay is a close parallel to Einstein’s quote.
