It boggles my mind we feel the need to box ecology and not consider agency for any of the other parts that make life itself possible.

I get a lot of flack for my belief in other animals deserving agency. You're the first person that's ever agreed with me on that. Usually people get aggressive and call me names, and tell me I'm crazy, or a wack job, or any other number of names.

People like that fundamentally do not understand nature. It's like an engine, a procees, not a thing.
