“We’re a Virus”: Danica Patrick Speaks About Our Impact on Nature

Last week’s guest on Danica Patrick’s ‘Pretty Intense’ Podcast was spiritual influencer and author, Teal Swan. The two exchanged ideas and views on ancestral healing and AI taking over. During the podcast, Danica went on to say how we as a human race have pushed the world’s ecosystem towards extinction, killing everything we touch. She also warned that if we do not correct our path, there would be dire repercussions from nature itself.

“It’s almost like, I look at Humanity in a way like we’re a virus, and we’re like you know, we’ve killed too much…there’s going to be an antidote for this if we can’t self-correct and find a way to not be a burden,” said Patrick.

She further added, “Assuming and understanding that there are other entities and civilizations and everybody’s at a different level; that there are surely other civilizations and entities out there that are below us right, so it just either evolves or needs to be eliminated.”
