Reflection
James Lovelock came up with an interesting hypothesis when he worked with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  He suggested the existence of “a complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on this planet."
This later became known as the “Gaia” hypotheses after the goddess of earth from Greek mythology.  Perhaps we more often refer to Gaia as Mother Nature.
Some say humans are using and abusing Gaia. I wonder if Gaia is using us to maximize her influence and productivity.
Thank you.
