i wonder if there is a way to distinguish between interventions which are well-thought out and legitimately helpful and stuff like settlers killing and attempting to wipe out the buffalo.
it always seemed to me like the discussion between gmo and non-gmo, like there are no non artificially selected for agricultural crops.
im probably wrong but i always had a sense it was the corporate or moneyed interest that made things worse, i can’t see a genuinely materialist objection towards doing our best to interfere in the least harmful way possible, humans will do it anyway i think… might as well do it with good intentions and a long tern focus
idk, my background is in the natural sciences and plenty of folks here tend to be “lets see just how fked up we can make stuff” so maybe the brainworms have already gotten to me…
