    Climate change, earthquakes, lightning storms, volcano blasts, etc. to convey “Quit harming me you humans! You are like a cancerous growth!”

    We wouldn’t. We don’t even know that other people are conscious* but rather just assume so. There’s no evidence of consciousness in the entire universe outside of our subjective experience of it.

    *By consciousness I’m refering to the fact of experience. That it feels like something to be.

    Nature lets me know that despite me being an atheist she has an eye on me.

    Typically this is done by a bird-of-prey consistently watching me.

    An owl and a hawk most recently, in places unexpected.

    Poor hawk was not happy in the rain. Turns out neither was I, and that trip was fuckin’ useless to-boot. (Save that I saw the hawk.)

    It would probably try to poison us humans by, oh I don’t know…poisoning an entire seasons worth of crops. You know, like a famine. Except it would have to be a plant that an entire country relies on. Something like…the potato harvest in Ireland.

    And if that fails, mabe a few dozen decades later, you release a pandemic with no cure. Hopefully the humans won’t develop a vaccine or anything.
