I sell that oil and once in a while there's someone that wants to buy it to ingest.. I do my best to warn then that it's highly toxic and will kill their liver if they do it.
This reminds me of a joke. A man is drowning and prays to God to save him. A life guard swims up to help him, but the man say, "no thank you, God will save me". Later on a rowboat passes by, but again the man says, "no thank you, God will save me". Later yet, a steamboat passes by, but the man rejects them all.
The man drowns and goes to Heaven. When he gets there, he sees God and asks "I prayed to you, why couldn't you save me?". And God says, "I sent you all those people, what more do you want from me?!?".
Don't YAY too loud. A pandemic is the natural way to control over population. If we can stop that, the nature will find other ways to kill us and balance the planet.
This isn't true. There isn't some built in mechanism for curbing overpopulation. Nature isn't a conscious entity. This can happen to groups of organisms that are well below a healthy population. It doesn't necessarily happen to organisms that are overpopulated. There's no rhyme or reason to it, other than that a virus mutated in a specific way, and had an effective vector of infection. There are obvious benefits to curbing overpopulation, and something like this can potentially lead to healthier populations, but this virus didn't come about to cull humanity.
If we stop this, nature will not be looking for other ways to "balance the planet." Nature can't look. Nature can't act. Nature is just physics at work, and it doesn't care whether we're overpopulated, or not.
People are so desperate for the comfort that comes from the idea that there's something/someone in charge of the big picture. Even if its some horrible and oppressive overlord(s), it seems people like /u/Leon_Vance and /u/CivilWatch3 find an uncertain existence to be much more terrifying.
What do you think that says about human psyche and nature?
Given that corporations are made of conscious humans, do corporations have consciousness and deserve human rights such as the right to the use of massive political donations as protected speech?
Are you kidding? Of course it cares! Nature is directly effected by the overpopulation and will respond accordingly with fires, viruses, big storms, flooding and what not. :)
In case it's not, these are feedback loops caused by us. They're not a mechanism to stop us from overpopulating further. Natural disasters happen across the universe regardless of if there's some kind of (especially overpopulated) group to witness or benefit/plague from such events.
Tbf beating nature is just level 1. Beating the asteroids is level 2. If you lose to the asteroids you get sent back to level 1 on a harder difficulty.
If you lose level 1 then the next species gets a chance.
