Is fire something to admire, or something to fear?

Fear

why cant i respect it for what it is without feeling some type of way about it

>>1474461
I'd think you can be both, but not neither.

>>1474443
it's something that really makes me think

>>1474467
i do not interact with fire in my day to day life, however if it's engulfing my shit i'd suffocate it. how is that not "neither"

>>1474494
Because if you're trying to extinguish a fire it's because you don't want it to destroy your stuff.
You fear the combustion of your household items.

>>1474499
That's stupid and literally lowest common denominator for forcing me in your dichotomy

What was the beginning of this end? Some might say Adam and Eve and the apple of knowledge. I say it was Prometheus, a Titan, a son of gods, who in Greek myth stole fire from his parents and gave it to human beings. The gods were so mad they chained him naked to a rock with his back exposed, and had eagles eat his liver.

And it is now plain that the gods were right to do that. Our close cousins the gorillas and orangutans and chimps and gibbons have gotten along just fine all this time while eating raw vegetable matter, whereas we not only prepare hot meals, but have now all but destroyed this once salubrious planet as a life-support system in fewer than 200 years, mainly by making thermodynamic whoopee with fossil fuels.

That's like asking if someone should fear carbon or gravity. I don't know, how the fuck should you feel about it?

I don't mean to be argumentative one way or the other, but I personally have not been able to believe in that last statement you made as ipso facto.

I would agree that pollution is something that ought to be avoided. I refer to it as prevention of pollution, and not what I believe you were getting at.

>Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines
>we show the extremely high degree of population decay in vertebrates, even in common “species of low concern.”
>This suggests that, even if there was not ample sign that the crisis extends far beyond that group of animals, today’s planetary defaunation of vertebrates will itself promote cascading catastrophic effects on ecosystems, worsening the annihilation of nature. Thus, while the biosphere is undergoing mass species extinction, it is also being ravaged by a much more serious and rapid wave of population declines and extinctions.
>Population extinctions, however, are a prelude to species extinctions, so Earth’s sixth mass extinction episode has proceeded further than most assume.

The planet is rapidly dying, Anon. I hope you read more on the subject with an open mind and won't be complicit in this madness.

MMOs are the fire that needs to die for the benefit of everyone.
