Sabotage in the Age of Modernity – technology, intended to support our development, is now causing us harm

There is arguably no worse form of sabotage than that which humanity inflicts upon itself today. As a species, we are evolutionarily adapted to conditions that accompanied our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Naturally, there are deviations we can tolerate, much like any animal that might feel slightly worse under unfavorable conditions – be it higher temperatures, a smaller herd than usual, or having to hunt second or third-choice prey. However, placing a zebra in a Siberian forest, camels in the Błędowska Desert, a pike in a pond, or a blue whale in the Baltic Sea would undoubtedly end poorly for them. Yet, for several decades, we have been doing something similar to ourselves.
