Pacifier

100% agree, that what I was trying to say
An other factor besides the scale of technology and efficiency is the sheer number of people living today.


I don't think any creature lives in "harmony" with nature, if you put 6 billion elephants in the african steppe they would trample all plants without a thought about harmony. The observed "harmony" is just an effect of natural balance and all creatures are working hard against it. We just managed to get an advantage because of our technology.
