    Ok but I still think the mosquito thing is worth a try. I’m even willing to live alongside wasps but mosquitoes gotta go!

    The small section of mosquitoes that bite humans actually don’t serve a critical niche like that, and just spread disease. Why the idea has been floated at sterilizing them.

    I thought some of the specific mosquitoes that prey on humans can be killed with little side effects. Or is that just my cognitive bias dreaming of a better world

    We’ve successfully extinctified hundreds of species through our very excellent human-centric activities. I’ve yet to see any environmental fallout from it. Where are the secondary and tertiary extinctions of the animals that depended on the first lot we rubbed out? Where are the corpses left in the wake of the dodo’s disappearance? Big Environmental Science™ won’t tell you, because they can’t. They’re shills and liars, all of 'em. Rich elites who make bank on selling textbooks at a 1,200% markup.

    Who’s up for starting a truthseeker podcast with me?

    We are the only species out of the ecologic system, we need the nature, but the nature don’t need us.

    Until we are forced to replace them with technological bandaids and hope the ecosystem keeps churning. Like we’ve been doing for a couple centuries atleast.
