Industrial extraction, ecological manipulation, and attempts to control nature elicit violent responses from the environment. Diseases, toxins, and predatory organisms serve as moral forces that punish human arrogance, revealing the fragility of human-centric worldviews and the hubris of trying to subjugate the natural world.
