o1d5ch001's Journal: Industrial Method will accelerate the rebalancing of nature

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.

And even if they did, there are other problems that need to be overcome, most notably religion. Religions that view the envi

A new paradigm of industrial methods and nature

It is either my writting or peoples nurtured (programmed) responses to 'environmental' issues that causes people to miss my point lately. 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

The thing of it is that industralization has nothing to do with it. Ancient Mesopotamian civiliazations died off due to pollution, salinization and other such problems despite their being primarily agrarian societies.
