I am not saying categorically that we should not manipulate nature. But that it is extremely common especially for European descended cultures (colonizers) to be over confident in the correctness of their priorities and their understanding of the effects. Anti science has nothing to do with this. I’d advocate for more scientific study generally. We thought we had a great thing with glyphosate and we released it in farms all over the world and now the monarch butterflies are endangered and farm workers are getting cancer. If we are willing to learn about the problems these “quick solutions” will cause it forces us to look to alternative means. There are no quick fixes when it comes to the environment. That entire mode of thinking is what has caused so many of our environmental problems in the first place.
