Just because something exists does not mean that it represents the ultimate good.
What exists has no adjective of good or bad. It simply is. And the trajectory of moving through the consequences of our inability to self regulate as a species happens to be, by default, the only game in town. You and I could wish it otherwise but that doesn't change anything. Once one deeply accepts that the correction happens through the imbalances we are creating then you can move on to embracing those consequences.
We do not, in fact, live in the 'best of all possible worlds,' closer to the opposite. And it is arguable that it is exactly those who thought and think that we are inevitably in 'the best of all possible worlds' that have brought about and helped rationalize bringing about this probably worst of all possible worlds...
I have some sad violin music playing in my ears now to accompany your dreary prose Dohboi. Again, this is not the best of possible worlds, neither the worst. You persist on wanting to put adjectives to describe our species dilemma.
Our big and bulky overshot human population is like a massive barge floating on still placid waters drifting with no paddle or motor, we can see the froth up ahead of the white water, we can hear the rumble and roar of cascading consequences approaching.
Yes, each individual has to make his or her peace with the Overshoot Predator. I have done so and I wake up every morning, smile to the rising sun, and those three little birds, out my window, their singing this sweet song, a melody pure and true, and so this is my message to you Dohboi..... Don't worry, about a thing, cause every little thing, is going to be all right, humans will die off, nature will heal.
