but face it: nature didn’t grow around us to kindly prepere our way to the stars or paradies or whatever we seem to think waits for a bunch of naked apes at the end of the way. we are but one product of a complex system. yes, people die because of malaria. but if we where to take a vital component out of the biosphere just because we deem it nasty, we could very well face much bigger threats to our survival as a species because of the resulting chain reaction.

it was that articles purpose to show, just because something’s ugly or bad for you, it’s not bad in general. i for myself feel a bit humbled by some of it’s arguments.

I love the idea of mosquitos being a part of a nutrient redistribution system, though. And a reminder to all that those large bugs that look like mosquitos? They are actually Mosquito Hawks, as we call them, and they are your ally against mosquitos. Spare them.
