I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the ONLY way you can survive is to spread to another area.

There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.Human beings are a disease, a CANCER of this planet.

One could take the view that a virus is nature's means of restoring equilibrium. In reality, the natural world is rarely in equilibrium and we see situations every day where populations build beyond carrying capacity and then some perturbation causes that population to crash back to more sustainable levels (whether it be drought, disease, a predator or parasite). Of course, as a species we have shown the capacity to continuously adapt to changes circumstances. The question is: what will it take and when will we exhaust our adaptive capacity - and will we be smart enough to read the signs and act in a way that achieves a way of being that is sustainable?
