FROG Soup
The first step to make a frog soup is to obtain a frog.
Source it from their natural habitats: pet shop, neighbor’s pond, or brother’s bedroom.
Invite it for a spa day.
Step two: fill up a pan with cold water.
Convince the frog, by any means, to enter and stay in the pan.
After having the frog confortably in the water, take the pan to the stove and turn the heat to a low setting.
Keep the frog entertained for as long as it takes for the water to boil.
If urban legend serves us well, when that happens, you will have a dead frog in boiling water.
The theory goes that if the water’s temperature increases gradually, the frog will not perceive the danger and will remain in the pan until it is too late, ultimately meeting its demise once the water begins to boil.
This illustrates how gradual change can go unnoticed until it’s too late.
The point is that it is very difficult to assess the severity or the danger of the situation when you are immersed in it.
Should I leave, or is it still safe to stay?
The rule of thumb, is that if you’re asking yourself, it’s probably time to leave.
TIME flies…
…We walk!

I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE.
It is inevitable on account of curiosity, competition and greed. All the trades that pushed humanity forward since the Stone Age…
… and for future history to determine whether it resulted from human genius or our immense stupidity.
Life is a Soap Opera…
On HUMANS
Hey, ChatGPT, how do you describe a species of living beings that entirely destroy their ecosystem?
ChatGPT
We describe a species that destroys its ecosystem as “ecologically destructive” or “environmentally detrimental.” Ecologists often use these terms when a species’ actions or presence causes significant harm or imbalance in its ecosystem.
Invasive Species: If the species is not native to the ecosystem and its introduction causes harm to the native species and environment. It’s termed an invasive species. These species can outcompete native species for resources, leading to ecological disruption.
We did leave Africa a few million years ago and occupied the whole world… and we spread like fire.
Overpopulated Species: A species becomes overpopulated when its population size exceeds the carrying capacity of its habitat. This leads to overconsumption of resources and damage to the ecosystem.
Since we haven’t run out of food, I guess we are still OK, right?
Anthropogenic Impact: This term specifically refers to how human activities, such as pollution, deforestation, urbanization, or other environmental changes, significantly alter or destroy ecosystems.
100% every F**ing time!!!
Keystone Species Disruptors: This term applies to a species whose behaviors or actions disrupt the role of keystone species, which are crucial for maintaining an ecosystem’s structure and balance.
Like driving extinct the DODO, the Passenger Pigeon, the Tasmanian Tiger… but it’s OK… we didn’t know better back then.
Ecologically Unbalanced Species: A species that grows unchecked due to a lack of natural predators or other factors and alters the ecosystem balance, often to the detriment of other species.
Even though it takes us so long to reproduce and reach maturity…and we kill each other by the dozen.
In ecological terms, it’s important to understand that such impacts are often complex and involve interactions between multiple factors, including the species itself, the ecosystem, and external influences like climate change or human activity.
AND NOW WE DECIDE TO PLAY GOD – REINTRODUCING SPECIES IN THE REGIONS WE RID THEM OFF. HURAY FOR HUMANITY’S GUILTY COMPLEX… we will soon be struggling for space again.
