Don't act like animals
Animals achieve equilibrium with nature. This is how a natural disaster acts.
Don't believe all the hippie, indigenous-wisdom bullshit.
Animals are not willing participants in that equilibrium. Animals expand exponentially until something competitive or a natural disaster puts them in their place.
I read an article about three flowers growing. All three received equal amounts of food, soil, etc. And despite having no incentive to, one of the flowers started growing sideways to block the other two flowers. It had no reason to, it had sufficient resources.
Did it also tell the other flowers that without the rich diversity of weeds the garden wouldn't survive?
Japan was nuked, twice, and rebuilt to become a world player.
Now look at Detroit or LA today.
Yeah, but Japan was full of Japanese people.
They’d also achieve equilibrium, if there weren’t social incentives in place to prevent that.
They can't help it.
The fact that we keep expecting them to and build society around that misconception is the real travesty here.
