As a human race as a whole we still think selfishly and in short term like any other animal. In order for our species to survive and improve into the future we collectively need to start seeing the bigger picture so to speak.

A deer without sufficient predators etc to keep it in balance will overpopulate an area and eat too much of the vegetation and create self inflicted famine and disease which then knocks the population back into equilibrium again. Or some wolves move into that area and kill off enough deer to accomplish the same thing.

Sustainable farming that doesn’t strip the land of its nutrients and cutting down on # of livestock and eating less meat, especially red meat; reducing our population by breeding less, dealing with our self inflicted global warming/climate change mess using science and common sense not panic or denial; etc

We all need to start thinking less selfishly short term and more long term. We still think and act like the less intelligent animals on this planet, our politics reflect that as well as how we live etc.

We’re the only intelligent and self aware enough animal to even have a conversation about this stuff or realize that it’s happening. That means we have the capacity to do something about it if we try hard enough.

Until we can think bigger than just our own short term self interest, we will continue to be a disease on this planet bc we operate like a parasite that can’t help itself from killing its host even if that means it inadvertently kills itself.
