Think of earth as a giant, subtly sentient consciousness. Like a mega-ent.

This.

Unless, of course, we learn to work with the planetary consciousness and not against it. That's when the unforeseen new vistas open up.

Why am I not surprised that it took a gump to come up with this level of stupid?

This man gets it.

It's really not subtle at all, though - just to us dumb humans who are way too preoccupied with other things.

Natural disasters are self explanatory. What are you trying to say?

Do you think it absurd to assume that something besides completely random chance causes things to occur? That perhaps there is not some defense mechanism that nature can affect to combat overpopulation?

Yes. That is absurd. And it's not completely random chance that disasters occur.
