An Eye for an I

But to view Nature itself as both flawed, and dangerous, runs contrary to much of the Gaia new age Green think. Nature can be dangerous, naturally, so to speak. It demands ‘respect’. But a nature that takes on the role of contagion –while contagion and disease are clearly well known — is problematic as the antagonist in the master narrative. The Wuhan lab is the necessary scapegoat in this drama. (though Trump has played that part to a degree, too, in his *mishandling* of the crisis. Its fascinating how often that particular word is employed. *Mishandling*. That probably deserves a closer reading). The appeal for global vaccine is an artificially created desire.
