>come across a giant forest of giant trees unlike anything else on earth
>let's get to loggin' boys lmao
insane to think only 4% of the original redwoods remain.
insane to think no one thought to stop cutting down the one of a kind trees until the 1970s.
insane to thing when logging companies heard that congress was going to make the remaining redwoods federally protected land, they quadrupled their logging efforts.
humans are so demonic its unreal.

there are superstitions that are somewhat compatible modern views of nature or animals (buddhism/animism like shinto) and then there are semitic cults where god is nothing like creation, cannot be found in creation (ie, nature) and nothing in creation is "sacred" like god is

You have just as much faith as religious people, but think you are superior for placing it in different areas.

this is foolish because of course a materialist/empiricist believes those things, they are the most likely scenarios in a world devoid of the supernatural. it's not outrageous for the people with this worldview to demand some sort of empirical measurement or 'proofs' for religious mythos
if someone believed the world is perched on a turtle's back when empiricism can prove otherwise, they are left with nothing to appeal to but superstition

Then the very fact that millions of people people worship Jesus as divine is evidence of that, right? If people are so easily tricked then why doesn't everyone make their own cult that lasts thousands of years?

"Empircisits" just follow a different religion, the religion of "WAOW SUPER SMART SCIENCE MAN TOLD ME ITS REAL." Meanwhile 50% of psychology papers can't be replicated, and people think 200 yea role inventions like the automobile/telephone are "advanced technology"

If science men are so smart. Why has cancer had no progress in a century of study? Fact is scientists don't know shit. They are just stroking their own egos about how they are better than others, because they looked in a microscope. "Science" is the religion for midwits.

>200 yea role inventions like the automobile/telephone are "advanced technology"
photos, video, and the internet have revolutionized the way humans process information
fact is you cling to a dying flame, abrahamism is and was not a bulwark against degeneracy/liberalism, it already lost before video/internet was widespread. all the thirdies being given internet access has been shown to make them significantly less religious, there is an unavoidable secular wave coming your way

thylacine my beloved
it's a fairly common belief in tasmania that they're still around in the more remote parts but the few people that live out there keep it under wraps because if there were ever any credible rumours or sightings the mining companies would send people in to massacre them to prevent any land being closed off to resource extraction by being set aside to conserve them

Yup these kinds of threads always remind you of the election tourists that have seeped and oozed onto every board like an uncontained chemical spill. They love to tout how much they love rural living and nature but as soon as they get whiff of the ability to make money on a patch of land they spread open their asshole, gleefully ask "how much?" and sell it to the highest bidding company for them to do as they please with.

no matter the era, the NPC never changes

>>
>>5032574
>Le NPCs
The bison were near-eradicated to open up range land for more profitable cattle and force the native savages to get out of our way and civilize or fade into history.

And it didn't matter. Imagine being an animist pagan or a "poetic type" who worships untouched nature. Man is nature. We are free to shape it into something that better serves our needs.

Over a century since the bison cull and the earth is fine
Wolves vanished and everything was fine. Just less bushy.

Nature can and will destroy itself, the history of life on our planet has multiple global cataclysms caused by organisms. The difference is humans can sometimes choose to stop themselves. The catch is that we're much better at destruction than most.

>>
>>5034793
It took that long in EVROPA because it took that long to understand breed plasticity. You could smash and slam the mighty moose in a few generations nowadays.
>>
>>5034799
It took that long because the end result no longer resembles any natural animal. They are borderline braindead wheat chaff conversion machines on the vast track to being self replicating meat vats.

It is far better to kill the bison that are in the way than abandon the same project and start over because of some irrational nativism. Either way the cattle we rear are not part of the original ecology. They are part of a modified ecology.
>>
>>5034764
Factually incorrect. Also there was literally no practical reason for killing all the bison beyond greed and the desire to genocide the native Americans. "Every dead bison is a dead Indian"
The slaughter of the bison was plain and simple pure evil.
