I fucking love this and I will not post a lot so....
Ayyyyy itās Kolbert!
āI donāt. Often this is a problem.ā
What books are you embarrassed not to have read yet?
In David Lodgeās academic novel āChanging Places,ā the members of the English department play a game called āHumiliation.ā Participants are supposed to name a book they havenāt read, but that they imagine most other members of the department have. One player names āHamlet.ā He wins the game but loses his job.
From the standpoint of the worldās biota, global travel represents a radically new phenomenon and, at the same time, a replay of the very old. The drifting apart of the continents that Wegener deduced from the fossil record is now being reversedāanother way in which humans are running geologic history backward and at high speed. Think of it as a souped-up version of plate tectonics, minus the plates. By transporting Asian species to North America, and North American species to Australia, and Australian species to Africa, and European species to Antarctica, we are, in effect, reassembling the world into one enormous supercontinentāwhat biologists sometimes refer to as the New Pangaea.

the ignorant power of man
āThe Anthropocene is usually said to have begun with the industrial revolution, or perhaps even later, with the explosive growth in population that followed World War II. By this account, itās with the introduction of modern technologies - turbines, railroads, chainsaws - that humans become a world-altering force. But the megafauna extinction suggests otherwise. Before humans emerged on the scene, being large and slow to reproduce was a highly successful strategy, and outsized creatures dominated the planet. Then, in what amounts to a geologic instant, this strategy became a loserās game. And so it remains today, which is why elephants and bears and big cats are in so much trouble... meanwhile, eliminating the megafauna didnāt just eliminate the megafauna; in Australia at least it set it set off an ecological cascade that transformed the landscape. Though it might be nice to imagine there once was a time when man lived in harmony with nature, itās not clear he ever really didā (Kolbert, 234 -235).
How can we better coexist with the rest of nature? Our cognitive function causes us to identify as superior, as dominant over the rest of creation. Undeniably, we have an upper hand - but what is our gesture?
