Humanity’s unique role in Nature

Question from the Internet:

“How are humans useful for nature?”

Humans — as potentially the qualitatively highest level creatures in Evolution’s pyramid — play an extremely important role in Nature.

We are the only part of the whole system with an independent consciousness, with the ability to research and understand the Natural system and ourselves.

For this reason, we are born with a nature, an inner program that is opposite to, incompatible with Nature. This way we acquire a seemingly outsider, independent viewpoint of the Natural system through our inherently subjective, egocentric viewpoint.

And now, as we feel more and more that being outsiders, being incompatible with Nature we will self-destruct, we can consciously, methodically develop, acquire a “supernatural” (above and against our inherent nature) compatibility, adaptation to Nature.

And in between the original incompatible, independent and the acquired, compatible, integrated viewpoints, comparative research we can fully understand the system to such an extent that we have a realistic, tangible feeling as if we ourselves designed, controlled the system.

And when we reach this compatibility, equal partnership with nature we can help to restore, sustain its fragile balance and homeostasis life depends on, which balance and homeostasis we are breaking, destroying right now with our original nature.
