Andrej K makes an interesting point and Autism Capital's dismissive reply is wrong. It is rational to be more afraid of man than of nature, because it is rational to be afraid of powerful optimizers. This is also often why we are more suspicious of for-profit versions than non-profit versions of the same activity.

Interesting point indeed. But what makes you believe that humans are more powerful optimizers than nature? Also, arguably, humans are a product of nature. We are nature.
