So, your argument is that because we are part of nature and it is the nature of things to create their own extinction; through either depletion of critical resources or a failure to adapt to change; that we should just happily go along the same old path and wander aimlessly and and knowingly toward the precipice of our own destruction as a species?
Isn't the defining attribute that makes us the apex animal intelligence? As we are of and from nature and rely on resources not only for our survival but owe it for our very existence; shouldn't we use this supposed intelligence to manage and maintain not only natural resources but the natural environment for the very fact that it is there and we are part of it? Where is the intelligence in destroying the very thing from which we evolved?
Don't get me wrong. We could destroy our own long term survival and the world would reset and re-evolve to a new set of environmental paradigms. However, if you look at ethnological histories a civilisations and correlate it to our own current trajectory, we are in fact hastening our own demise in our hurry to repeat the human pattern.
