I read your article and want to comment: I find it interesting that all of the comments so far are disagreeing with you.

What you are saying is something that is spread and is probably true to a certain extent, we are in danger. But it is not set in stone. We are 'super intelligent' as you put it, we need to get 'super wise'.

Firstly, the earth does not have a neutral relationship with man, I do think that humans can be good for the earth, like any other animal, more than any other animal. When we work on reforestation we note that the areas that we never touch actually heal slower than the assisted reforestation, where we use certain techniques to speed along the process of recovery.

Secondly, you may be right, currently advancements in science and technology are a net negative, but there are a lot of positive development around science and technology counteracting the largest negative problems. When there is a problem, humans use science and technology to develop a solution. Yes we need to see or create the problem first, but still, we try to fix it.

I agree that there are huge problems with our social systems. I, and many, many others, we are working to improve current systems and even replace them with next generation sustainability solutions, communities that mimic natural ecosystems, localized stocks and flows, abundance, etc.

Not sure what gets you out of the bed in the morning, after reading your article it seems like the best solution would be to sterilize yourself or even to commit suicide. But I don't agree with that. We can do better, in fact we are already working on it.

Blessings!
