The fact that humans now kill each other more than nature kills us directly doesn’t prove we’ve escaped it.
It proves that nature now uses us to do its killing.
Nature still rules us... from within.
We haven’t escaped the law of the jungle.
We’ve just moved the jungle inside the city walls.
As Werner Herzog said, “nature is a harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.”
And we are part of that symphony. Human violence is not a failure of nature, but a function of it... nature doesn’t care who dies, only that something dies.
