the earth gave us a place to hold life. Not a traitor to my species, just humble enough to understand we are at the mercy of nature.
For example, without the trees we’d not have anything to burn when we found fire. Nor wood houses, nor yes, our furniture. But also no shade to keep us from the sun, no place for the birds and squirrels to nest. Trees give life for many outside our species too. In nature, all is connected.
It’s graditute, respect, and understanding.
Ill edit this if I can find a link, but a national forest removed the wolves from its park. A time later, the trees started dying. Sceince found (and i forget so imma look it up,) somehow the missing wolves lead to the dead trees, so they reintroduced the wolves. I believe deer pop exploded and were eating the trees dead.
Are you at the mercy of the canned food in your kitchen? Are you at the mercy of the charge in your car’s battery? Are you at the mercy of the clothes on your body?
That’s not how life works. Every single form of life requires the destruction of other life, until we get down to individual amino acid chains which are very arguably not life the same way a fetus is not life.
Right, and you have no respect for the other living beings that occupy that cycle? You know we’re driving 200 other species to extinction every day, and when we run out, we die too, lol. Your attitude is why human beings are an extinction event.
No, your attitude is exactly why we are driving the extinction event. Every single climate change denier says the exact same tired point, “We’re too small, too insignificant to change the climate.” This idea humans are just another animal is objectively incorrect, and dangerous. We’re not smol beans. We’re not powerless. We’re not equal to random animals. If we were we wouldn’t have been able to cause an extinction event, we wouldn’t have changed the climate, and we wouldn’t be directly responsible for 60% of the animal biomass on the planet existing period.
If more people realized humans exist at the top of the food chain and are responsible for our environment and not the other way around, we could actually talk about taking global initiatives seriously.
But for as long as you people repeat the far-right Christian view that we’re just another one of God’s Creations we’re going to keep shirking the responsibility inherent to being the singular capable lifeform on this planet.
The corpses of fungi, you uneducated droolpan. In some cases they just parasitize the fungi (Myco-Heterotrophy). In some cases it’s “symbiotic” in that the fungi sends its dead cells and receives sugar in exchange. Also what do you think fertilizer is? It’s dead plant matter processed by animals and insects. Without fungus feeding on soil enriched by microbes, plants wouldn’t exist on land.
And in the ocean, especially where there is little light, how do you think plants survive, you example of your education system? By eating microbes and the poop of other creatures eating microbes and plants.
And where do those microbes, when we go far enough down, get their energy? By eating amino acids that would otherwise form into life. I guess you could say this is the bottom of the chain as long as fetuses aren’t people so amino acids aren’t life, but that seems like a cop out at that point.
They do not “eat fungi corpses” you absolute buffoon. Plants absorb resulting nutrients from their decomposition.

I would be curious to know how easy you think abiogenesis is achieved.

Wow, human exceptionalism is fucking gross.
Sorry you’re a traitor to your species.
youre a capitalist. All these points you make align with capitalism.
good work.
You’re not capable of making that determination based on your post history.
aww, you peeked my profile :3

How wolves change rivers!

What a fucking stupid world view.
Sorry liberal.
I’m a socialist, you moron. I’m also an environmentalist.
What the hell are you talking about?
Eating, you know food. Nothing can survive off of photosynthesis alone, sugar isn’t that useful.
You just said every single form of life dumbass. What other lifeform do plants eat exactly?

It’s not a cop-out, this is just you conceding.
