Ishmael Chapter 10
In this chapter, Ishmael and the narrator talked about how the Takers are destroying everything, how the Takers don't seem to care about the world, the animals, or anything at all. From what I see, culture is good for an individual specie, but it's bad for the whole world. Why is it good for an individual specie? It's because when a specie has culture, then it needs to have a certain amount of intelligence, it's fascinating to see all the things humans have recovered from the past, and to see how we think at times. But then, it's really bad for the natural world, because when some species have cultures, they will learn the mistakes of the past, they will know how to do things more efficiently, and when they learn that, they will invent more things, and think of more way to be even more efficient. Then they will turn out like the humans, destroying everything, even themselves. It's just so unfair for the Leavers, they have done nothing, but then, they are the first who pays for everything.

I don't quite understand what you mean. I don't think culture itself is a bad thing. I think it depends on the foundations of that culture. After all, Leavers have they're own culture and they still manage to keep the earth as it was. It is the Taker's culture that has that fundamental flaw.
