Context : OnMarkets, OnEcology

Replacing the rich ecology of nature with crude human designed mechanics is a disaster. But human-made systems are becoming more complex and more redundant. Markets are getting more complex with more increasing number of species of supplier and consumer. At the same time, humans are annihilating biological species in the SixthGreatExtinction.

Is it possible, that at some point, the trend-lines will cross? And we'll find that the human-made market, considered as an ecology is more complex, more reduntant, richer than what remains of the natural one? Would then economics and ecology become the same? Would our market life-support become more precious than our biological one?

Counter argument

Even if human economy is more complex in complexity it's still parasitic on and dependent on biological EcoSystem.
