Fuck Gaia

Attaching intention to the ecosystem is an absurd and naive move. The Gaia hypothesis didn't begin that way, but has become that. Its more recent rebuttal the Medean hypothesis is fun but no less absurd. The ecosystem is a complex system of patterns (which sounds redundant but truly isn't). Their is no magical intention that the system has, it just developed and built on itself. This is a vitally important idea for people to understand, because although the system may seem stable in the moment, it is incredibly easy to disrupt it. In fact our current ecological age is defined by our disruption of it. As such, we need to cease placing our faith in the pattern and understand that it's fragile and we can and are breaking it.
