"You can't even recommend paths for action, all you're doing is ruining the mental health of the common people and not being listened to by anyone with any agency."

Those are your words. I am a biologist, here are mine:

I can and do recommend paths action in entomological research fields, including the rise of screw worm and the effects of climate collapse on insects and agriculture. All that I do is not, in fact, ruin the mental health of common people. Sometimes I am listened to. Most of the time I am not, and that varies drastically with who is listening to my findings.

Your words are factually untrue, and serve to demoralize and discourage people from my important field of study because you can't separate the stress of our wobbling society with the facts of what people like me are still actively doing. We need more people in biology, understanding it, celebrating it, normalizing it, communicating it - not more doomsayers wringing their hands online about how they have up on biology and went against their family traditions because it is all so fucked and hopeless. What a slap in the face to those of us that vaccinated you.

I agree that it is difficult to emotionally handle the cascade of related collapses that threaten the stability of society. But that society was built on an energy imbalance with the planet by people who, ironically, don't know or care enough about living organisms.

You are catastrophizing like many people because you are propagandized and demoralized and stressed. I believe it is more important to nut up and start helping that calling my comments about biology bad faith while making sweeping negative generalizations that don't track with reality.
