Ecological complexity ought to be studied by all men, especially those seeking to govern a society. Not only will understanding the complexity of our environment help humble human arrogance as some special apex of evolution, but it will help men be more considerate in formulating social policies affecting their environment and human incentive structure. As is currently, men imagine themselves as gods indifferent to the necessities of the complex balance of nature, bumbling through the planet with misbegotten belief of their infallibility, pissing in the very well in which they drink. Relying purely on petrol-fueled brute force, humans have become little more than beasts and much less than man.
