When Diversity of Wildlife No Longer Exists, Predators Turn Against One Another —

01 Nov

Written by
John Cox, M.A, C/M

“Diversity of Wildlife is the key factor to not only a healthy ecology, but life within this Universe. Humans attempt to favor entertainment, and exploitative circumstance, and avoid what I just wrote in the opening of this conversation.

Evolution of life also, often devastating to some, is a fact of living. Then the end-of-life, that is, the life-cycle within this Universe we all live. Whether fallen and die from old age, or, devastated within the Predator-Prey Relationships we see in Nature, and understand, that life exists naturally on this planet we live. Time is our boundaries, toward life — a Universal Law we cannot change. . . We are all part of, and just as receptive to it all, as a small field-mouse in a field, a prey to age, or predators.

Interesting, and the fact is, without human involvement, this life-cycle I discuss here, creates or prolongs a healthy life cycle within the Ecology it exists within — i.e. evidence, for millions of years before we come along. With Human-involvement, not so much, to Zero, actually. So it’s not time, as previously mentioned, being a boundary; but rather, and this is the negative side, whether or not the humans turn-against one another, or not — when Predator-Prey Relationships no longer exist on this planet. Perhaps this planet’s history shows us this, as well . . .

The devastation of one-predator overwhelming other life within a healthy habitat, that was not within their Predator-Prey Relationship — i.e. I give you the cattle and the wolves, bears, household-pets, coyotes, et al., as a definitive and well proven fact this happens — Science and common-sense observations shows us this as fact, as well. Yet we disregard the “Causation” and go after, to kill or eliminate, the symptoms – whether it be Wildlife-Evolution, or Terrestrial-Evolution; or, our own pervasive obnoxious perceptions, derived from ignorance, bigotry, or bias. History shows us also, when these attributes become popular, things drastically change within the evolutionary process.

I find it interesting, all of the preconceptions we place on something like the Natural Life Cycles of this planet . . . The fact is simple, not an excuse to kill more life, or exclude some life, i.e. bias, bigotry, and ignorance, in favor of other life forms — a more entertaining life. . . How sad people are entertained by killing life itself, and for the most ironic illusions, yet state they done the killing to save all of us, or the ranchers, or the community, or . . . whatever bullshit fits their need, i.e. excuse, at the time!

I call that bullshit! Especially, when we are attempting to manage the birthrates within a Wilderness area, or, on the Range, when science tells us, very well and abundantly, Wildlife and our Terrestrial Environments are self-governing, inclusive of population, as well. But human-ego combined with ignorance and bias, and money/greed, then soon we find Nature subordinate to such mind-sets, and destroyed due to them.

Some of the Evolutionary Process may appear to us as unattractive, even disgusting, when we do not understand the Predator-Prey Relationships — and the Natural Balance of Life on this planet. Humans have disconnected this Universal Necessity of Connection we all have between Nature and a Natural Universal Evolutionary Process, in our attempts to control it all.

We need to understand it is not our supposed predatory instincts that control this planet; but rather, it is Nature, and we are a part of it; Whereas, with any other living beings on this planet, and Universal Law, if one living-being or species ultimately controls all life on this planet — Nature will respond negatively.

Ultimately, when no Predator-Prey Relationships exist, Predators turn against one another. We see this often when hunting and trapping over-done in many Wildlife and Wilderness Areas. Frankly, we are seeing it today, already starting. And those with any type of intelligence, can see, many things in our environment and human population as well, becoming worse, the further we disconnect from Nature itself. . . and refusing to understand our connection with it all.” — John Cox, M.A. C/M

Understanding Terminology to Correct Management of Our Natural Resources and Wildlife — A Necessity

21 Sep

Assimilated and Written by
John Cox, M.A. C/M

“In the communication field, we have several direct-connections to psychology. After all, communication, you and I discussing things, is derived from several psychological-patterns. And, as we know, psychology pertinent to understand our Universe within the complex of survivability, sustainability, comforts, respect for life, respect for Nature, among other things, as well as all the attributes that form psychological, and what we refer to as, Dysfunction.

When we place theses situations into terminology, we find deductive reasoning to be refined to a point of understand dysfunctional attributes, especially toward decision making.

Often, the more we know, the more we experience life and the things we are interested in knowing about, knowledgeably:

1. One must be open-enough to accept all the positive and negative nuances of the subject. Our minds need this constant flow, to make knowledgeable decisions — separating the affirmed values being significant, and usable, or insignificant, and experience has shown us to be hurtful, or non-usable.

2. Bias, ignorance, and bigotry, is when we shove-aside, what we suppose is irrelevant, as if nonexistent, for an excuse, in this example or scenario, to abuse, kill, profit from, or debate an issue we know nothing about.

We infuse these patterns into our own knowledge-base. When we have psychological problems, whether physical or within a mind-set only circumstance, many classifications of terms come to mind. . .

We then interpret, how we understood this knowledge of Nature, for example, and wildlife. We interpret this information into our knowledge-base. We then communicate it orally, or within written form . . . But what are we communicating? What are the definitions to describe awkward or troubling interpretations of our Nature that surrounds us, or the Wildlife that lives within it? To understand this, we ask the questions.

Perhaps classifying these interpretations into terms; which, we can then understand how those with little to no knowledge, or those with mental disoriented knowledge, due to bias, bigotry, or plain old ignorance, develop their idiotic behaviors and flawed, disagreeable decision making processes, especially toward Nature and our Wildlife. Exempt from this discussion are psychopathic behaviors as well as sociopathic behaviors, alongside schizophrenic behavior, or manic depression behavior, et al.

Now we isolate this circumstance, more so, to answer the question how many interpret correctly, or within a manageable level of truth, Nature within Nature and the Wildlife that lives within Nature, correctly? This is where we can then accept or deny whether a mind-set, and the knowledge they display, orally for example, to us when discussing things, is functional or dysfunctional within that individuals’ interpretation of Nature and Wildlife.

Here we ask the appropriate questions, to search for the answer, whether or not within research, or, just daily communication, with others. We see first hand, opinion generated, or books read but not fully understood, and those with no experience, debate and argue points with experienced people, needlessly. Most want to learn no more, because they assume they already know it all.

There is no single term for those who deny that nature exists

in nature. However, several philosophical concepts are relevant, depending on the specific argument being made:

Solipsism: An extreme form of skepticism in which an individual believes that only their own mind is certain to exist. In this view, the external world, including nature, is merely a product of one’s consciousness.

Metaphysical Nihilism: The philosophical position that a world entirely empty of concrete objects (i.e., nothing at all) is possible. The more radical version of this view suggests that the universe itself is an illusion, and thus, nothing is real.

Idealism: The belief that the physical world is not as fundamental as mental reality. Certain forms of idealism argue that objects only exist as long as they are perceived. In this context, the existence of nature would be dependent on its being thought or perceived by a mind.

Antinaturalism / Supernaturalism: While not directly denying the existence of the natural world, this view holds that something beyond the natural order is real. It rejects the idea that nature is the only or ultimate reality and can be a stepping stone to dismissing nature’s importance.

Linguistic Confusion: In many cases, denying that “nature exists in nature” can be a philosophical riddle or a thought experiment about the nature of reality and our perception of it. The statement itself can be interpreted as a logical puzzle rather than a firm philosophical or an in-reality stance . . . ?” — John Cox, M.A. C/M — Preservation of America’s Wildlife
