If someone said “humans suck, but nature is a perfectly beautiful creation 😍” what examples would you think of that show nature being (1) independent of humans and (2) brutal and grotesque?

    that statement would be kind of nonsensical – humans are inseparably part of nature. Saying “humans suck but nature is great” is (at worst) an ecofascist idea or (at best) internalizing the lie that “humans are evil by nature” when it’s really just living under various hierarchies that emphasizes the worst parts of us.

    Those wasps that reproduce by laying their eggs in other bugs and then when the eggs hatch they eat the other bug alive from the inside

    There are lots of bird species that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, meaning they don’t have to raise their own offspring. Often the nest-invading species hatches earlier and grows faster to outcompete the chicks of the nest owners for food. This often means those chicks eventually starve to death.

        Cuckoo birds are the origin of that term!

      God I remember first finding out about cordyceps from leafing through a Biology textbook because I was that kind of kid and then being haunted for weeks afterward

    Just point out that humans are a part of nature, not apart from nature.
