I don't get any of this philisophical, whatever it is. The only philosophy that makes sense to me is that I need the planet beneath my feet in order to survive. If there's no planet, there's no me.
It seems like some people believe that humankind can do no damage, as if there's nothing we can do that could harm our own existence. I don't see anything wrong with questioning whether we've taken things a bit too far. Humans have lived for thousands or perhaps millions of years without technology. Never before in the history of humankind have we burned thousands of tons of stuff that was locked away under the Earth's crust on a daily basis. What's wrong with stopping for a second and questioning if this could be a bad thing instead of assuming that joyriding about in masive one, two and three ton vehicles is perfectly normal and safe?
Technology has helped improve a lot of things but seems to have destroyed others. Try having a normal conversation with a teenager and you'll see what I mean.
