Recent interesting research shows that life on earth may have distinct suicidal inclinations. Human destruction of the environment is but the most recent episode. If true it has interesting implication on forming of exobiological theories, and the evolution of civilizations outside our precious planet.

I've heard arguments on both sides: "Nature is kind" "Nature is cruel". Both are wrong. Nature is indifferent.

I would think Shiva to be even more accurate then... creator and destroyer all in one. Makes sense to me.

What an interesting article! Good clip!
