Any of your points are fertile grounds for debate. Although you’d make a good sparring partner in this sense, I fear we agree too much. Unlike animals, we do have a spiritual side to us, not totally explained by nature. Nature itself is a good teacher, but a horrible master. We were made to conquer it, not for it to conquer us.
Say, for example, we return control of the planet back to nature, as the nice progressives believe. No more rubbing sticks together to make fire, no more trading bear skins for corn grown on land cleared of trees. Would we be better off? History shows that primitive societies are wiped out by the predatory ones until they learn to adopt the most ruthless means of defense available. In the same sense, we are facing another predatory enemy.
I agree - we’d probably agree on a lot here. Even if we didn’t I’m not interested anymore. Just trying to post some helpful info.
We are part of nature. Bottom line -- a beaver's dam, a bird's nest, and a skyscraper are one as natural as the next.
