You have no idea what the long-term results of all of that overt’control’ will lead to.
How do you feel about ‘dimming the Sun’? It’s a perfect example of the hubris of many scientists.
Pesticides and insecticides have all sorts of consequences.
Science is what ‘changed’ things; and Science will eventually create a truly informed balance again. But science is driven by men, who tend to be ruled by ego. Until that changes, a lot of our science will be mistaken.
(We’re ‘controlling’ Covid now, with scientific intervention. Have you had your vaccine? There are people who don’t want it - they figure they’ve found a different and more natural way to protect themselves...)
“”You have no idea what the long-term results of all of that overt’control’ will lead to.””
Sure I do, our history on this planet has numerous examples. The Passenger Pidgeon went extent due to humans, other species moved in and took it’s place. Were it not due to our “overt control” Deer, Elk and Antelope would likely be extinct by now. Which brings us back to the topic you strayed away from, Elephants. Were it not for our “Overt Control” the last of the Elephants would have died many years ago, same can be said for Whales. 7.6 billion people have made a huge impact on earth and it’s growing. They demand food, water and shelter and will defend against anything that deprives them of it. It’s been that way from the beginning of time and will remain that way until we pass.
“”We’re ‘controlling’ Covid now, with scientific intervention. Have you had your vaccine?””
I don’t know if it’s a vaccine that’s making the cases drop or just plain old herd immunity. I’ve yet to see convincing evidence. Since you asked No! I haven’t had a vaccine and I won’t have one. It seems our so called scientists, doctors, polititians and media have extreme difficulty in determining whether a person died from Covid or with it. I’m 71 years old and as of this date I’ve had four friends that were listed as Covid deaths, all had serious preexisting health problems.
“”Science will eventually create a truly informed balance again. “”
To create a balance you have to know what that balance is and there’s no way of determining that. My question to anybody saying such a thing is when were we ever in balance? That’s about as silly as saying we can control the variances in Earth Climate.
