@thepsychopomp: If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed many thousands of years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. Humanity today is like a waking dreamer, caught between fantasies of sleep and the chaos of the real world. The mind seeks but cannot find the precise place and hour. We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, Medieval institutions, and Godlike technology. We thrash about. We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and are a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life. Humanity would rather believe than know and it chooses this every day. -Edward O. Wilson (The Diversity Of Life / The Social Conquest of Earth) #naturalist #dungbeetle #revenge #lawdhecoming
