[The Hierophant]

Well, there's the thing Promethius. What your friend 'Bob' did took balls. It was brave, it was self-sacrificial. The act of fending off the bear with clubs got the job done with minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem. That's fine. That's almost 'good' even. It was a reasonably even fight, and took a great deal of effort, courage and sweat to carry through to its conclusion. It's when you relatively effortlessly shot the bear later that the scales were tipped unfairly.

And therein lies the problem. Advanced tech gives humans incredible power to kill and destroy at their whim. And because this technology has developed at such a rapid pace, our species hasn't had a chance to biologically dis-evolve its aggressive, opportunistic and selfishly squanderous instincts.

When armed with clubs, people are still very vulnerable. Only the strongest handful of people can make their way through the world and survive. Yet guns allow cowards, weaklings and other socio/genetic 'chaff' to exert incredible destructive power over ecosystems that would otherwise naturally swallow them whole. Which has been my argument along. And that's all it is of course, just my argument/opinion. But I still can't abide the insidious intrusions of the destructive 'civilised', 'quick fix' mindset on more primal habitats. And sometime soon, something is going to have to be done....
