    “We need fire.” Three words I thought I’d never hear a fire expert say.

    They should set up base in my country, plenty of dumbasses who burn their trash in the open so they don’t need to start any fires themselves -_-

    13:11: “We know how to manage the forests. The question is whether we choose to use that knowledge.” I feel that nugget is pretty universal.

      Absolutely universal, and in far too many cases, we choose to ignore the knowledge and wisdom. When everything goes wrong, people are totally surprised and wonder how/why everything went wrong and if there’s any way that could have been prevented. Meanwhile, everyone involved in writing the instruction manual is screaming, beating their heads against walls and desks, stress eating, and Googling ‘how to quit the human race’.

    I never thought of the concept of having moderate fires over time as opposed to one huge fire that causes major problems every hundred years or so
