Do people really believe that they can control nature?

Asked by josie (30934points) April 11th, 2015

The Ancients believed that they could influence Nature and alleviate their fears through ritual sacrifice. Nature did not cooperate.
Industrial Man, with a cue from Marx, believes he can influence Nature (using as example, the current focus of post Industrial fears, Global Warming) by sacrificing the Bourgeoisie.
It didn’t work back then. Why would it work now?
