> Amazing that we are watching all these other species go extinct but think we will somehow survive. Far from watching them all go extinct, we don't even know how many species there are - most people only pay attention to the cute and cuddly anthropomorphised ones like penguins and koalas. Many species will be gone without humans ever having been aware of them or their role in the ecosystem. Truly humans are the virus. ▶ this video
Absolutely. In the 1970s, bugs on the windshield and grill happened every single day. I drove the length of California a year ago, and not a single solitary bug was on my windshield or grill. Completely coated, so you were driving you'd have to run the window washer and wipers every 15 minutes to clean the windshield so that you could see out of it. California is heavily agricultural in the Central Valley, so I'm sure all the farmers spray the f-ck out of their land to kill every single bug. Spray the length and width of the valley in a carpet of bug spray, year after year for decades, and there's not going to be any bugs left. Appropriate link: ▶ this video
The purpose of every living being is to spread and grow. Bacteria, virus, animal, human even universe and unfortunately cancer. Companies are no different. Author's statement reminds me of Agent Smith's statement about humans, virus and cancer. [1] [1] ▶ this video
