The unprecedented die-off represents roughly 90 percent of the eastern Bering Sea population
Peter Watts (SciFi author) has a phrase: ‘Signposts en route to oblivion’
Hey look, this is one such signpost
Majority of humanity sitting in the passenger seat staring at their phones: … Huh, wah? … Oh, ok … goes back to looking at phone
What should i do? Stop eating crab? Its about 20 years too late for that, as ive never eaten crab.
Short of devouring the rich, which im only stopped by lack of a ride and a barbed wire fence, or eco-terrorism which for legal reasons i have to clarify that i do not support and have, like totally never engaged in, theres not much i can do.
My carbon footprint is so shallow that it might as well be flying. Yet the world still burns.
I am curious how long it will take for them to recover. 90% is a huge population decline.
Never; they’ll go extinct with all (including us the people).
i ate those food
Maybe Charles Darwin was wrong. Perhaps it’s not about being ‘fit’
To be clear, being fit in this case refers to a species being best suited for their specific environment. So a species beginning to die off because the environment they adapted to over a very long time was suddenly and drastically changed makes perfect sense.
What exactly aren’t you getting here?
This is not what he’s talking about. We are apex evolutions but we are also the biggest waste of space and have caused the most amount of damage ever done by a single species.
this is what i was originally getting at, now I’m critiquing Darwin because that’s what science is all about
Yeah the wording needs improvement if this is the message you’re trying to relay because it sounded like we failed at evolution.
