I’m trying to think of a species that systematically destroys its own habitat, fails to care for and nourish its young, acts in total contradiction to the natural world - yet continues to survive and thrive. So far I haven’t been able to come up with one.

The european male species. The inventor of toxic masculinity. While at the same time being a big boy Lover.

I'm not at all a fan of viewing humans as some kind of destructive menace, not because they aren't, but because the framing is skewed. There's no need to paint it in emotive language. Certainly effective towards the choir but we need more than the choir.

Well, there's bacteria in a petri dish that multiplies and multiplies and eventually drowns in its own waste... But hopefully that's not the model we're looking for...

Ahhh I hear scant little discussion about the major, underlying cause of most of our dilemmas: The earth is massively over populated with humans.

if billionaires were a separate species, they might fit the bill

Cats! They continue to kill prey species well after they have satisfied their hunger. In Australia cats have been found in isolated areas having starved to death after wiping out everything alive

More like we're wasting nature and throwing away waste Not thriving, that's just billionaire propaganda.

I miss the positive, non-dualistic Marianne. Maybe that doesn't work well on Twitter.

Except, of course, humans who have given their wellbeing and survival over to profits.
