Journal o1d5ch001's Journal: Industrial Method will accelerate the rebalancing of nature 3
The Industrial Method has allowed us to cheat as it were, nature. We have created drugs, central heating, leisure time that allows our bodies to rest. This in turn has extended our lifetime and set the expectation that we will live relatively long lives and someone dying before they are at least sixty is considered premature.
Here is the rub. The abuse of these systems, like antibiotics has allowed the natural world to take back the advantage that we once had, and the advantage that allows us to expand far and wide over the earth. Consuming vast amounts of resources for profit.
For millions of years, humans lived in small groups of a few families. In the last three thousand years we have developed enough know-how to build cities, Industrial Farming, utilize chemicals to control insects and bacteria. But this could come crashing down very qucickly.
Should we do something about this? Can we?

What I am asking for is a new discussion, apart from the dramtics of the environmentalist movement. I am not a environmentalist, nor would I apply any of the conventional political lables apply to my point of view.
I started thinking seriously about the effects of human habitation and if it was sustainable. This is my starting point. I started working backwards from the

Industralization merely exaggerates these problems, but is not the sole, or even primary, cause of them.
