The cigarette someone flicked on their yard, or the pot the accidentally left on their stove, or the electrical outlet that was faultily wired, or the gas leak in the furnace may have started the fire. There s a million ways to die in any of our modern structures. These things happen thousands of times a day and we turn the blame for each incident towards whatever target is available. The reality of the situation is that there is an entire system of thoughts at work here that perpetuate this system. The failure of control.
Control is a central component to civilization.
The control of nature is impossible, as has been shown above. Erosion takes its toll on the strip malls we build. And when we strip the tops of mountains and hills away, the winds and rains are destroying more and more of the structures we build in their old places. There is no stopping nature, and our attempts will fall back on us. This is especially clear when it comes to forest management.
