"Is Nature Out of Control?"
Hmm. "Out of whose control?" I wondered. Have we become so arrogant that we think we have control over nature? Nature, by its very nature is out of control. There are real reasons why the Andes are so magnificent and Yosemite so beautiful. Beauty is dangerous. The physical world will out, and oft times we will share the traumas every other living creature endures. Our control over the really big events is limited to the point that we can only respond. We observe nature. We respond to nature. We do affect nature at times, and change eco-systems, but it is we who are out of control. In every important way, we can't control nature. We can only control ourselves.
I am surprised at the NY Times. And disappointed.
The truth is sometimes as simple as "que sera, sera."
