Too much of human intelligence is self-destructive. Natural intelligence develops high degree of intuition and spiritualism.

Monetary and person-based narcissistic greed, lust with material objects, and a displaced need for power. We're becoming the emotionally-detached robots of subliminal societal messages.
There's a pessimistic end attached to this as well. Have you read Kuhn's (1970) theories?? What he says about scientific paradigmatic reality applies here. We can't think out of the box, society concretizes and supports this inability, and as a consequence we think selfishly for now...but, within our paradigmatic reality.
To further apply Kuhn's notions: The outlook for operating outside this paradigm we've indirectly or subliminally created for ourselves doesn't look good. We'll bandaid global warming, but this means will inevitably and only bring about self-destruction.
I'm sure I'll get a couple "thumbs-down" here...Pessimistic?? True. But, highly likely if significant, huge changes don't occur. We ARE killing nature; what REALLY sustains us.

It is horrible, but at 56 years of life, I think things evolve without it even really being noticed in our every day life except to those who have been given the passion for it. LIke myself as an elem teacher, my passion for children is HUGE and I just can't stand what I'm seeing statistically in parenting. People are so focused trying to stay alive since the Walmart theory hit life (it wasn't around for most of my life, thank God) that they just don't have time to think further than survival because everyone these days in corporate retail and otherwise and trying to get money out of you and do it in the most back handed methods. I don't think the younger generation even knows !! You never tasted to 1950's when love of the customer and dr. home calls and all were because the human race was helping each other, not ripping each other off.

What are you talking about? Nature is being replenished faster than it is being destroyed...There are laws forcing people who cut down trees to plant a certain amount and limiting the pollution vehicles can have. We were "getting rid of nature" several decades ago, but humans learn from their mistakes.

We're not, really. Nature, with good reason, is getting rid of us.

I dont think anyone likes the idea of it. It is just an awful by product of the present age of technological progress.

That's NOT something that is even possible to do.
