As we speak nature is serving us with a particulay nasty "decision" called climate change.

No, we're still at the mercy but just on a different scale. Earlier it was the individual, now it is the population.

I think that's precisely what the parent comment was being ironic about. We built industry to evade natural conditions, but through mass industrialization and planned obsolescence we're actually pushing nature to eradicate us all (and millions of other species alongside). Aren't you two saying the same thing?

This is definitely not what I was saying. What I was saying is that I live in a house with a roof and electric lighting, and use modern medicine. The key word was "struggle".

Sorry for misinterpreting your message! Although i don't understand what "opposite" direction means in said message given your explanation.
