Some of my best friends will soon return from the USA.
Their eyes will sparkle as they tell me about the great miracles of nature: Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Yellowstone…
Indescribably beautiful scenery in protected nature, or fakes???
Fraudulent wrapping of a reality full of tsunamis, earth-quakes, tornados, volcano eruptions, epidemics???
Darwin unmasked them all.
Behind flattering and deceptive beauty and great glitter, you will – if you are lucky – find the trials and tribulations of biologic accidents; if you are less lucky, you are more likely to get the ruthless evolutional struggle:. “The survival of the fittest”.
Basically, “Mother Nature” is like the muzzle of a dog; knowing neither emotions nor ideas, neither ethics nor morals.
Solidarity (helping the weak ones so they will come out unharmed) and cooperation (building a pack) does not exist, except if it gains you competitive advantages.
Nature is not a humanitarian event. And it certainly is not a “leftist” institution.
Who will protect us from nature???
Here is what my friend Harvey says:
There is no such thing as nature.
What is the similarity between the tuberculosis bacterium and the cute deer you see running through the forest?
Why should a bird flying be more natural than an airplane flying?
What sort of natural experience do the people have who marvel at the Higgs-Boson – and what those who fall down on their knees before Monument Valley?
In fact, there is not even such a thing as natural sciences.
Why does water freeze at zero degrees Celsius without fail?
Why, on the other hand, have the temperatures refused to increase during the last fifteen years, regardless of all the climate change and natural sciences that predicted it?
The combination of individual parts and partial results allegedly telling us about the character of nature is purely a matter of belief.
It happens exclusively between the ears.
Substitute religion for scientists.
Nietzsche says: God is dead.
Nature never lived.
God is dead, nature never existed …
Truly sad news.
Now it is our responsibility.
