Was it a conscious decision, or a momentary lapse of reason? How did progress take priority over humankind? Could harnessing the world's energy that allowed our ascent now be the lynchpin of our downfall?
The questions raised by the E Squared documentary got me thinking. This thinking raised a lot of questions for which I do not know if I have answers.
What is our responsibility towards the only inhabitable planet that we currently live on? How much progress is too much? Isn't there a limit to humankinds progress? If there is a limit how is that limit set? Is it a function of the human minds capability, or nature acting to keep the checks and balances or both? Has humankind by its actions triggered a reaction from nature to keep the checks and balances? In this battle of checks and balances will the human mind prevail or will it be nature that has the last word spelling the doom of the earth and all of its species as we know it?
