      Thanks for pointing me to it. It’s a wonderful graphic and illustrates the point that the earth is a living breathing organism that we are a part of.

        Yes, the Gaia hypothesis is correct. The theory of life I composed proved the Lovelock and Margulis were correct.

        If you want to go down the rabbit hole just a tad further, consider that the reason the Earth is a “living breathing organism” is that you are the Earth. Or, alternatively, you create and sustain the Earth at all scales. Pretty zany, but true.

        Erik – I have not read either Lovelock or Margulis, but looked them up and their ideas are fascinating. Lovelock seems a little more accessible, but Margulis resonates with me – She also believed that proponents of the standard theory “wallow in their zoological, capitalistic, competitive, cost-benefit interpretation of Darwin.” I’d like to read more – can you recommend something they have written that is geared toward someone who is not a scientist?
