Nature is not our mother, but our sister
We and our non human associates should be friends, who get to know each other and respect our roles
Disturbing simplicities have crept into public understanding and fears about natural forces . The forces of nature maybe subtle but they are complex and strong enough to crush us .We have ignored them and continue to ignore them to our peril .
Is the modern reaction to the ignorance and exploitation of nature by our forebears( often two different things )valid ? Too simple ?and not even always relevant now/
Are we dealing with a reactionary glass half empty view . The reaction of "don't touch" or even "fear of interfering" is taking over public doctrine of whats good for us in our relations with nature .
What those of us who work comfortably with nature have noticed over the last 40 years is an actual lack of respect for nature. In its common form, its a failure to really understand natural force and counter forces complexity . Wannabes now talk glibly of ecosystem protection without knowing how ecosystems work creating too much political nonsense ( valid in theory but not in practice
This confusion in direction and support has come to a head in conflict and wasteful ineffective public investments and changes of direction many times in the last few decades
IMMUNIZATION, INFECTION ,DISEASE and DEATH
The above are all to be respected elements of microbial associations with us -- but are they understood and promoted publicly? No See this example
A recent example is listed here where political and purist natural imperatives appear to have failed to accept the normal accommodation of the microbial community into real world disease and health control.
Earlier examples include public pressure to review the known benefits of immunization , There ae many others ,
The 2020 example here shows us why there in panic and confusion - the so called threat /value of immunization is discussed in confusing ways . Not only that, simplicities about how we get infected tested and die are now challenging known microbiological principles.
