I didn't read the article, but I read your response and it feels a bit heavy handed.

> What about the weather systems in the atmosphere? Could you argue that one of the most complex systems (maybe only second to the ocean current system) on the planet is not "working" in it's natural state?

Over geologic timespans, this is all just temporary thermodynamics. We will not always receive the same amount of energy over the sun. It will vary dramatically as the sun moves through its solar lifecycle.

Everything evolved around these dynamics in their current metastable states. Lots of optimization flux ebbing and flowing around the larger gradients and salients. All subject to perturbation such as asteroids and atmospheric carbon and solar death.

Life on earth has existed a third the age of the universe. That's a long time. Complex life has less than 600 million years left, and that's an upper bound estimate.

> Your limbic system is very very complex and is naturally in a state of working. No human intervention.

If you move around enough. If you vegetate on the couch all day, it's not.

We evolved biology that works under the conditions we evolved under. Through us into new conditions and you stretch the behaviors of these systems.

We evolved under the gas energy exchange of our gravity well. Put us into a different environment and everything breaks. Give us little pocket dopamine rectangles and suddenly we stop reproducing.
