Many argue that humans are the biggest perpetrators of environmental damages. They often cite deforestation, climate change, global warming, raising sea levels, overpopulation, and extinction of animal species are all the results of human expansion.

My argument is that as a civilization develops to a certain point, it is only natural for that civilization to have attempts for dominion over its nature.

Questions to ponder:

  • Does humanity have a duty to save nature?
  • Are humans part of nature or are we beyond that point by now?
  • How do you connect the dots between species extinctions and environmental impact with human misalignment?
  • Is destroying nature a natural step of the civilizational development?
  • Is it always better to co-exist with nature?
  • Is the final goal of civilizational development is to achieve complete dominion over its natural world?

Guidelines:

  • Hand raises are required. There are no limits on how many times you can raise your hand.
  • There will be a 2-3 minute timer for every person depending the size of attendees. However, in this group, I do allow a brief back and fourth interjection from others if it's something that's related to the person who was just speaking. This is a way to prevent the group from feeling too "robotic" in style and get your pressing question asked to the speaker and get the answer right away without waiting all the way back to your turn again.
  • Be authentic & civil!
  • Please refrain from using Ad Hominem (personal) attacks. This includes in voice, in meeting chat, and in the comments section below. Instead, please attack the points from others. Severe Ad Hominem such as racist behavior will result in being removed from the meeting.
  • Zoom link is posted well before the day of the meeting but you will not be able to join until 10 minutes before the meeting start time.
