We Need To Rewild The Internet
“When we simplify complex systems, we destroy them, and the devastating consequences sometimes aren’t obvious until it’s too late.”
Monocultures and single points of failure are red flags for any ecosystem.
@vmbrasseur Agree with the sentiment but I find it fun how my ecologist friend hates this article. Rewilding is a fraught concept in ecology. How do you define wild, for example. At what point in history are you using as a reference for native or natural or wild? It has caused an unhelpful dichotomy with humans on one hand and everything else on the other. But humans are animals and are intimately interconnected parts of most (all?) ecosystems on earth, and they need to be diverse and sustainable, so how does wild fit into that as a concept. Or something. I'm probably not doing it justice.
@greg @vmbrasseur You start by explicitly repudiating the idea that man is separate from nature.
Our one difference is our primary tool of survival: a volitional consciousness. We must choose to think to flourish.
The first choice is recognizing that everything in reality has a specific nature (identity) and rules to follow as we reshape our world for our continued existence.
Or to quote Francis Bacon, “Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.”
