However, when diversity is limited, the ecosystem is due to the eradication of the high pre -helmet. Broken and unravel. If diversity is suppressed, surprise can be more fatal New pathogen It is highly likely to appear and spread.
The story is almost the same in human context -Culture, language, ideas and existence diversity It is essential for elasticity, creativity, innovation and social evolution. If you actively unstable the global tapestry of cultural and ecological diversity, you can imagine your imagination and rob your raw materials to create a better future.
Diversity appears in countless forms beyond the number of species. Within a single species, there may be a variety of behaviors, ecological roles, vitality strategies and sexual patterns.
tradition
For example, salmon shows a variety of adaptation to the unique properties of the birth lecture. Some population migrates thousands of miles to the sea, while other populations complete the entire life cycle in freshwater.
Some mature quickly and others delay breeding for many years. The history of this diversity is much more flexible to the environmental disturbance of salmon populations.
Humanity also shows the same breathtaking diversity. There are more things around the world 7,000 languagesEach encodes unique perceptions, explanations and interactions with the world.
Culture includes amazing beliefs, values, traditions and knowledge systems that form people’s relationships with each other and their environment.
Prevention rate
Humans also have a great historical diversity of life that are partially expressed through the diversity of gender and gender and sex.
Many cultures have long been recognized for non -binary genders. Even within a single society, human behavior diversity varies from neuro brothers to neuromagnetic development, risk fathers, from conservative, risk trirteers, and risky trees.
Just as various species in the ecosystem occupy different niche markets, this human diversity can bring different perspectives and strengths to human prosperity group projects.
We do not know what unique history of life, localized practice or some ecological knowledge is important for the next crisis or opportunity.
But we can see that we are not only overcoming the storm at the time when diversity itself is difficult, but also the key to the ability to grow and evolve through them.
To borrow terms from Nassim Nicholas Taleb, diversity is to give life. ‘Prevention rate ‘: The ability to grow and thrive because of them as well as to withstand confusion and volatility.
biophysics
As a scientist and a queer man, the more time I spend more time, the more I believe it. Queer It is the best concept to understand diversity.
In the sense of sexual orientation, the queer varnish is not a queer but a simple pattern of male and women or straight and gays.
To admit that nature is a queer, which is the pattern we can see or that the nature that can be charged more accurately is not the average rule. This concept is the product of our own limited abilities that recognize and understand the nature of the world rather than the characteristics of the world.
I think this is quite wrong about diversity. We contrast it with simplicity. But it is not right. You can find a relatively simple or complex ecosystem in the world.
that Arctic TundraFor example, there is a relatively less species than the Amazon tropical. But this does not mean that there is something less natural about the Arctic ecosystem than the Amazon ecosystem.

Diversity is an indicator of life when doing what is done within a process, a set of biological physical constraints. If diversity occurs when it encourages life, the opposite of diversity is superiority: the result of life suppression.
We know that our own demands are more important, so we suppress salmon when blocking spawning habitats with dams. We suppress plants, birds and insects with chemical inputs. We believe in the globalized market advantage, so we suppress traditional and craftsmen and economies.
In all cases, strong use of oppression is suppression to calm the landscape of what is possible because of the superiority of a single life and the way of existence.
The good news is that superiority is destined to fail in thermodynamics. Because it contradicts the basic principles of life. The current superiority and oppression regime is strong and deeply firm, but we must recognize that as we suppress diversity, we will undermine our long -term survivability more.

In order to adhere to the best of the best known, our globalized food system has been holy for decades with the obsession with modern civilization on one special method of producing food.
result? Our food system is similar Zombie systemIn fact, I was forced to keep moving with cheap inputs and labor. They are entirely There is no ecological wealth and elasticity.
The community around the world is trying to revive diversity and elasticity by localizing food systems, distributing governance, and restoring traditional languages and land practices.
Community support fishingFor example, by reconstructing the direct and interrelationship between Fisher and the eaten, we provide a variety of alternatives to the industrial seafood supply chain.
These alternative models can help to harvest more species, enhance diversity, revive traditional fishing practices, and make wealth more equally distributed.
Moral
During covid-19 pandemic This diversity has been found to be profoundly valuable.While industrial fishing is shaking, many community -based fishing can quickly adapt and maintain local food supply.
There are many battles with great consequences for everything from education to health care and territorial sovereignty.
They all start to look more similar and unified when we see the boundaries from a larger unification war to the boundary war of the diversity of those who want to choose an advantage.
Diversity is not just a matter of pride or identity politics of the environment, but also a central debate of this moment.
Standing for diversity is a moral and instrumental command at the same time. To live through this moment and to change for a better world, we must have the courage to treat it.
