Indigenous peoples have it right
throughout time.
Colonizers destroy the world.
World after world after world...

The difference is living in sync
with the environment
and living to consume the environment.

And the flip is made
when the population grows
beyond the ability of the environment
to meet the needs of the population.

Humans are intelligent enough
to avoid dying off
by killing off one another.
Becoming so proficient at it
that they kill off themselves
by being so successful
killing off others.

It's a fine balance,
which nature finds
through natural die-offs.
And humans haven't been able
to improve on the solution,
and trying to impose their "solution"
leads to the kill-off of life worldwide.

So much for the survival of the fittest idea.
The survival of the most stupid is more like it.
In the end,
protoplasm outlasts everything.
