bludclotartattack: cultureofresistance: “If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.” -  Edward O. Wilson,  Research Professor in Entomology for the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University Environmental misanthropy is a very dangerous pattern of thought. Human beings can limit, even mitigate our negative impact on the planet by altering the way we do a few things. Any and all arguments for the discontinuity of human existence could form the basis of an argument for genocide on an unprecedented scale. In short, thinking like this is wrong. Utterly wrong. True story that is why I didn’t reblog this the first time round.

Environmental misanthropy is a very dangerous pattern of thought. Human beings can limit, even mitigate our negative impact on the planet by altering the way we do a few things. Any and all arguments for the discontinuity of human existence could form the basis of an argument for genocide on an unprecedented scale.

In short, thinking like this is wrong. Utterly wrong.

True story that is why I didn’t reblog this the first time round.
