Or an insect or a toad? You get the idea. I am simply putting things into prespective and comparing our species and what it has done in the millenia that it has occupied the planet. Or in a different frame of reference was Raja Harischandra depressed without an iPad? Or was Henry the VIII losing it in the absence of Twitter?
We have for one convinced ourselves that we are the most superior of living things that existed.
We have gone to lengths to continuously educate ourselves that consuming more is good. And inventing new things to consume is better.
We have killed for everything from spices to metals to women to pieces of paper or just because of a belief that we are guided by an unknown entity in doing so.
We continue to be paranoid that the others of our species are out to destroy us.
We continue to destroy ourselves through use of cornucopia of chemicals natural and man made and strive to find other ways to hasten the process.
We add more to our plate than we can already handle and define terms like ADD and A player to help explain it.
We continue to find other rocks in the solar system and ways to leaving this rock to get there while we are unsure if we have money in the bank to bring ourselves back to this rock.
We are returning the very pants we are wearing not knowing if coming back naked is a good idea.
We contine to talk about global warming from one end while not doing much to control some other ends.
Not to mention all the hot gas that blows every time you tune into a broadcast anywhere on the planet.
Having said that I think the planet really does not care what we do because we are a mere nuisance and it can essentially just wiggle a little faster than its plan and turn off the lights!

I doubt if the great politicians, bankers, real estate developers and consumers/marketers are going to be 'cowed down' by a few blogs!
