This is why we should command nature. Being both part of it and smarter than it, we are its masters and must ensure its survival out of necessity for our own.
Are you stupid? My point is that human exceptionalism is disgusting, you came out and confirmed you’re a human exceptionalist, and I called you disgusting.
I mean I’m a proud human exceptionalist, I don’t think I’ve hidden my stance once. Performing outrage just to prod at someone is wasting both of our times tbh. Your contributions like a driver honkin when the light just turned green: loud, annoying, and profoundly useless. Really living up to that sad, sad username.
And you’re like the driver ahead of me putting lipstick on in the mirror at a green light, holding up progress. Sometimes the honk is the only thing that snaps idiots like you out of it.
You can’t continue an analogy into a domain of nonsense. How the fuck am I halting traffic lmao.
You did not even present a stance to convince any onlookers who may see this conversation (because we all know that arguments online are more for their opinions anyway). All you’ve done is come across as needlessly belligerent. Hardly the “propaganda of the deed” you’re looking for. Gonna tack lazy onto my growing list of insults for you (which, for the record, now includes: loud, annoying, useless, incoherent, belligerent, lazy).
Jesus Christ man, I can’t understand it for you. If you don’t get how human exceptionalism is holding us back as a global society, I don’t have enough crayons to dumb it down any more.
I couldnt give less of a fuck about what words you insult me with, your a disgusting idiot, lol.
Well it’s not. Every development in human quality of life has involved some level of mastery over nature. The creation of fire for nutrient bioavailability. The advent of agriculture for food stability. The subconscious use of genetics and breeding to make better food for ourselves. The transport of food across water to create cities. The freedom from hunting and gathering afforded to some to allow for technological specialization. With the industrial revolution came the green revolution shortly thereafter that made agriculture more efficient with tractors and other powered tools. Using bacteria, C. Elegans, fruit flies, rats, and dogs as model species has advanced our understandings of genetics and of medicine. Speaking of medicine, our mastery over plants and fungi cannot be neglected.
Moreover, none of these avenues are dead ends of development, at least, at the moment. Plant science, agricultural science, medicine, microbiology, and many other fields are active areas of study where we continue to advance our understanding of nature.
Now, in improving our own circumstance, we indeed have run into some quite disastrous issues. Climate change is far and away the largest (which is a consequence of capitalism). Within our drive for self-preservation and improving circumstance, however, we have already concocted some of the solutions. At the very least, power and transportation are both solved through a combination of nuclear and renewable energy.
Moreover, conservation is a necessarily paternal field. We tend to cause the problems that conservation needs to solve, yes, but we’re the only species that is capable of identifying there is a problem, finding causes, and trying to solve them. The species that are going extinct don’t exactly know that.
To summarize, we are a part of the biosphere, and also masters of it. It gives us sustenance and life but without our intervention it does so in an unstable manner. When we direct it, we ascend beyond mere participants. And when we screw it over (or very rarely, when it screws itself over), we have to be the ones to fix it.
Anyway, I think this is the best I can reasonably treat the onlookers to this conversation. As for you, I’m done talking to you. If you want to be no better than the plants and animals, I’ll treat you as such.

Hahaha
I see why you named yourself “nonconfrontational” now. You have a bad habit of not getting to the fuckin point LMAO
