Would you say humans have achieved mastery over nature? What about possession of nature? How can that be possible when such mastery and possession are actually the folly of humankind? We explore why that is so in this episode, where we explore the history and effects of animal farming, overfarming, and overfishing. Learn how much damage we have caused from blind exploitation of what nature has to offer and if there's any possible way to divert from our self-destructive course.
