minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•5 days agoI’m a pessimist in that even in the best possible situation humans would still find a way to overpopulate the earth until no solution is viable. We are parasites
minus-square@sticklylinkEnglish1•4 days agoDon’t disagree that civilization is a parasite, but a lot of parasites evolve to not kill their host 🙂
minus-square@ShardikprimelinkEnglish0•4 days agoWe are categorically not parasites. We don’t live in/on another organism deriving nutritional value from the bodies as hosts We and other animals eat plants/plan eaters directly. We are not hosted by plants or plant eaters. If that were the case, other animals would also be parasites. At most, we are predators There are many definitions of parasites tho and all hinge on the time the parasite spends in/on the host
