I'm not sure if the owners of this website would desire to expand the number of subjects / categories, so people would be welcome to post discussions on new subjects such as:

There are some of us who ponder the question of: "Are we alone"?.
That very word "alone" says it all on our generally poor psychological attitude on the natural environment.
We are NOT "alone" because there are the other sentient beings on this planet, in other words the wildlife; which we are destroying. Anyone who looks properly at the many available documentaries, will see for example how elephants love and look after their family.
Then there is the typical human attitude, where we seem to believe that only we exist.
Example, from a news report on "development" in forested areas of the Russian Federation:
A self-employed builder remarked:
Quote:"There was nothing here before I arrived ...."Indeed, there was only:
Forest, with each tree supporting an entire bio-system of: insect, bird, and animal life.
This then was the "nothing" to which he was referring; with its days no doubt numbered once he had arrived ...
