We got scared.

Amazing, exact same title and everything. I know im in good company here now. This vid is epic to the max.
 
Here's what I see when I watch videos like these, that make them no different than religious dogma in my eyes:

blah blah blah SCIENCE IS THE BEST blah blah blah

blah blah blah HUMANS MADE SCIENCE blah blah blah

blah blah blah HUMANS ARE THE BEST blah blah blah

Great intentions, but missing a huge piece of the puzzle. No amount of human ingenuity can make up for a disconnection from the larger world that includes all living things as valid lifeforms, rather than tools to be used for our own plans. Diversity has been shown to be the single most important factor in the survival of any ecosystem, not the refinement of one superspecies to solve all problems. A philosophy of reciprocation, not a more finely tuned dominance, is what is important.

this is our evolutionary process. all species fight for dominance in their niche. all life forms use what resources they need without consideration for the impact it has on other lives/the ecosystem- and if this has an overly negative impact environmental conditions change and that species stops prevailing, unless it has, as we have, reached a novel point in the history of evolution on earth where our ability to create knowledge enables us to find new ways to survive. i do not want to excuse humanity for environmental destruction, and i think serious action must be taken to prevent it if humanity wants a long and prosperous existence. a philosophy of reciprocality would indeed be a good thing, but it would be this, not the preceeding philosophies, that disconnect us from our innate nature (and hence, nature).

Totally agree with this, mostly.

But can't science be used to explain this as well? Its not as if they are excluding other living life forms, they are also studied in great depth.
