So, you see, doomerism is predicated on a very firm foundation:

Human frailty.

Frailty is but one face of human arrogance too, which this woman exhibits an abundance of. In this case it comes through in this snippet:

nor do I accept that the human species should not affect its environment.

This woman and people like her do not have any realtionship with 'creation' and all this term embraces and entails -- except perhaps in detesting and denying it -- by spending most all their lives in an 'environment'; preferably the man-made kind of wealth and luxurious comfort far removed from the "backward, poor way of life."

This feckless word, environment, is perfectly suited to such disembodiment from creation and it's underlying mystery and horror.

Boy oh boy, is she in for a surprise.
