RE: The similitude of immigrants and invasive species

in StemSocial5 years ago

There is maybe one thing missing from this great post (I really enjoyed reading it). Some times, the "invasive" species is integrated through the native population and allows the latter for rising up. Yes they bring competition (which is IMO healthy), but they also bring novelties that can be incorporated and make the future brighter. I was thinking about that when reading the story of Charles.

Indeed. Its not like invasive species don't have their uses but the fact that they spread and eliminate other species in their paths makes them a threat. In biodiversity lies the future of man, anything that threatens biodiversity is a threat to human existence.

True, it is not a real invasion :)

I thought about the same. What is your take on a nation where people are competing in an unhealthy manner? I think this is what happening in US. Off-topic perhaps. But interested to know your take on it. Only winners are celebrated and losers are literally thrown out of the system!

As I said, a healthy competition that is beneficial for everyone happens... sometimes... not always definitely.

I don't have all pieces of information for the US, especially was for what concerns the present situation, we only see in the media the bad guys from all sides... To go back to the topic, competition could be always positive if we remove the boundary conditions (like races, etc...). However, those conditions are never removed and the human behaviour screws up everything,
