View Full Version : Can We Co-exist With Nature?
darksidZz 06-18-07, 05:06 PM Is it possible that we'll learn to live with nature and not abuse it's resources? From what I'm seeing now there's going to be a future upheavel when the Earth begins loosing many of the common everyday resources we depend on. After that happens we'll need to find new ways of surviving based on the not-so useful things we'd previously overlooked. I wonder how people will handle that considering their inability to adapt to even the simpliest of changes in society.
First we have religion, the culprit that makes us hate, then we have schools which wreak havoc on the freethinkers of humanity. Now what do you imagine will happen once oil runs out? Anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to survive given the current technology, and yet you'll end up with people like my parents, whining and pining over this or that with no imagination or ingenuity, in the end most if not all of us will die.
So what do you guys think it would take to co-exist with nature instead of destroying it? I've always been fond of the idea that we merely build a seperate area for species, much like a biosphere, and there we stock all the animals, etc. Everything outside that area is ours to develop, but never are we to venture into that biosphere without proper controls.

We ARE nature.

We ARE nature.
No, we are not natural. Aliens altered our genes, or maybe a metorite crash. We weren't meant to exist, we're all freaks of that nature! Now tell me, can we co-exist with it?

What makes you think that?

Come on just pretend it's true :p

In that case, no, we can't.
EmptyForceOfChi 06-18-07, 07:08 PM dark dont kill your own thread before it reaches page 2, your post is flawed like raven said we are nature, but we all know what you mean and what your getting at, you just worded it slightly wrong is all,
we have become diferent to the regular natural order of things on earth, we are still part of nature, but we fight against nature and try to control it, where as other animals go with the flow, its all because of our free will, consciousmess, self aware thinking, and growing population and rising levels of technology.
there is a problem that humans have, we like to destroy things and that comes with bieng intelligent and getting bored alot of the time, just like elephants they like to break shit aswell, and they bully other animals just like we do, ever see them throw rocks at monkeys? or hit hippos and other animals with sticks?
we are stil a part of nature and the eco system ofcourse, but we are just alot different to other animals on the earth, so we seem isolated from nature, but thats because we have become out of touch witht he natural order of things.
peace.
well, our characteristics and "evil" and reckless bits are the same as several other animals'. Not like other animals aren't ever evil. So that means we're as evil as anything in nature, the only real difference is we're more intelligent and thence capable of more. Right?

How so? Any animal would multiply without giving a fuck about the "nature", biological diversity, global warming, etc. given an opportunity. Mice, rats, australian rabbits, american deer, locust don't give a dime about the nature, they just use the opportunity to cover the Earth with double layer of their own.
pjdude1219 06-21-07, 09:33 AM the proper question is not can we in but will we?
John J. Bannan 06-21-07, 09:57 AM I think we're smart enough to co-exist with nature. Will things change? Surely. But, we are our own greatest threat.

Just like other people have said animals plants and every other living thing all try to control and manipulate the environment to their liking. It is just they are not as good as we are at it.
And they don't give a fuck about nature, they just care about their own survival.
We are in fact the only creatures who actually care about protecting the environment. Fact.
We can keep coexisting, so long as she pays her rent.
Natch.
spidergoat 07-03-07, 06:04 PM You mean all of us? No. But alot less of us could. I heard there were about 3 million native Americans for example.
True.
Humans just hate roommates.

yes but other animals are not even capable of such things. so its unfair to say they "dont give a fuck" because other animals dont even know what the enviroment is.
as i said before its our intelligence/free will/consciousness that allows it, other animals dont care about the enviroment ofcourse they dont, because they are not even aware of such things. you dont expect a human newborn to be aware of quantum physics either,
peace
