ANNOTATION:
Environmental Impact in the cybernetic model

Shouldn't the disturbance arrow in the cybernetic model be a two way arrow. Humans disturb the world environment and the cybernetic model should acknowlege that impact. I believe this is one of the fundemental problems with human thinking, we do not understand or have not discovered how to exist in harmony with our planet. I am not an extreme environmentalist, but I believe there is something missing in our fundemental science and understanding of life. We are consumers of the highest order. The animal that creates its own niche. We are the source of all externalities.

REPLY: Agreement

To the author:

You are supporting and justifying a nice ideal.
 
However, in agreement with Bob Lynch, there is a piece missing which supports our environment.
