My guess is that this is exactly the way environment plays a role but, maybe, it all gets figured out in this new era I fantasize about. In that era the environment is a natural part of any consideration humans have to take action on and, therefore, is greatly improved so doesn't take us out.

@rainmanjr And how is that working!? When people start to suffer, survival takes precedence and one often steps down on the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Survival and procreation are the two strongest impulses for all life.

@jackjr Tao is unconcerned with our suffering or survival. Nature (environment) continues to be OUR major responsibility even during those.

@rainmanjr Problem is, most only see the day to day struggle to survive and fail to understand the consequences of their actions.

@jackjr Reality TV capitalized off that fact. I wonder if Survivalism was triggered as a dominant mentality as a result of environmental evolution?

@rainmanjr In all of these scenarios most of those participating did not make it. Only a select few won.

@jackjr That may be but it's early for the evolutionary game of preparing a species for minute changes in environment. I see indications of that.

@rainmanjr Minute!! Right now a very large portion of Canada is burning and some 30 thousand Canadians have had to leave their homes. Climate Change is real and it is roaring. Too bad so many humans are deaf.

@jackjr It's all gone when I last draw a breath so no longer my concern.

@rainmanjr Seems you are still around so it is!

Absolutely correct. Like blind-corners.
