    A classic human trait; charge into situations one does not have the slighest clue of what’s going on.
    It was done to the Americas, Asia, and most especially Africa.
    Gaia, by definition, is an organism which strives for balance. Just to do that requires sentience on some level.
    Most native peoples I’ve studied understood that to a greater degree.
    Something broke us westerners and as near as I can tell it was probably the Catholic church. The only other possibility is the Yaweh cult; in fact a far more likely candidate and much older.
    In any event, it is important to know we’re broken; the Hopi had a word for what’s wrong; Koyaanisqatsi;

    (n.) “life out of balance.”
    a state of life that calls for another way of living.

    We collectively, have no idea of what and how each and every species, depends upon and interconnects with every single other species across the face of this earth.
    That alone should scare the begeebus out of every man, woman, and child walking the earth today.

    Charts are the picture of compounding growth: ever-increasing money at an ever-increasing rate, which pops 100% of the time. However, they are not going to liquidate on margin calls. Not only did the markets close and dislocate, gapping down far over anyone’s stops, but the conditions for both closures and flash-crash gaps have gotten phenomenally worse. HFT’s are the only traders, and it’s systemic that any bid offered to the market is actually fake, with no depth, as either a scalp or a price-tester. There’s no one in the market. Liquidity may be 100x less than appears. In that condition, even the few remaining humans can’t either cover shorts or buy, because the market won’t be functional enough for them to buy and deliver.

    Trump did not waste his time to fly around the world to sit in a hotel room during his meeting. It was his 15th? 25th? 50th? assassination scare, which Kerry well knows. There was one that actually went off back when he was in England, very clever: the UK okayed Greenpeace to buzz-bomb the secret service with an ultralight in hopes that they would (perhaps justifiably) shoot him. This was only barely averted, and in that detail, a Secret Service guard died under ill-reported circumstances. His helicopter has failed some 3-5 times since we was elected, often with his kids and grandkids inside. Very unlucky. But it’s Kerry who has to restrain his anger. Trump is angry and unhinged for no reason, because everyone has been so nice to him.

    Have you any links to your last paragraph?
    Much there I have not heard or read.
    I’m not from Missouri; but you still have to show me… 😉

    Dead by any means is still dead.
    Its closer to home. We must ignore it.

    “Gaia, by definition, is an organism which strives for balance”

    For a dose of perspective, a little physics.

    Approximately 1.1 billion years from now, the Sun will be 10% brighter than it is today. This increase in luminosity will also mean an increase in heat energy, one which the Earth’s atmosphere will absorb. This will trigger a runaway greenhouse effect. Basically Earth will turn into Venus.

    In 3.5 billion years, the Sun will be 40% brighter than it is right now, which will cause the oceans to boil, the ice caps to permanently melt, and all water vapor in the atmosphere to be lost to space.

    In 5.4 billion years from now, the Sun will enter what is known as the Red Giant phase of its evolution. This will begin once all hydrogen is exhausted in the core and the inert helium ash that has built up there becomes unstable and collapses under its own weight. This will cause the core to heat up and get denser, causing the Sun to grow in size. The expanding Sun will grow large enough to encompass the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and even Earth.

    Gaia will be thoroughly roasted and in the end engulfed by the Sun. That is written into stone, in the mass of the Sun and the orbit of Gaia, known to most of us as planet Earth. Good luck with your balance, Gaia.

    Ah, deportations of illegal immigrants on airplanes. The humanity! Remember Elin Ersson, the swedish student, hero of the immigrationists, who prevented an Afghan man from being deported in an airplane? She was praised to heaven for her principled, moral stand.

    But that man had been convicted for viciously assaulting women and children. Whipping kids with electric cords. Smashing his wife’s head into the ground. He had also decided that Sweden, a country where a man cannot just beat his wife and kids, was not for him after all. So he decided to go back to Afghanistan. Willingly. He was not being forcefully deported.

    This mattered little to the no-border, no-man-is-illegal grandstanding pea-brain activist. Every criminal from every distant land has to be welcome and cuddled in our societies in which they illegally broke. Because Sweden needs every wife-beater, drug-dealer, welfare case and rapist from every third-world country. It’s in its national interest. None can be expelled. There is no moral alternative.

    “The “opaque” loans come with strings attached and build up “staggering debt”, Pence charged, mocking the initiative as a “constricting belt” and a “one-way road”. He urged nations instead to stick with the United States, which doesn’t “drown our partners in a sea of debt” or “coerce, corrupt or compromise your independence”.

    Distilled Zioglobalist projection here. China copying the imperialist game will ultimately get them nowhere. The new tide flows counter to centralization and widespread military-monetary extortion.

    Your snark aside; the Gaia Hypothesis loves physics, being an integral part of it, as are we.. And, as the cycle of life and death, creation and destuction, it is most certainly a part of “the balance” Gaia is an integral part of.
    It’s not mine; but rather the genius of James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis.
