Deforestation typically requires either industrial machinery or systematic clearing—processes measured in duration and labor cost. The claim that a forest falls merely from observation proposes a physics where matter responds to perception, where the act of looking accomplishes what otherwise requires mechanical intervention. It's a peculiar form of telekinesis that doesn't involve hand gestures or emotional intensity; it requires only sustained attention. The implication is that some people emit a force field of consequence simply by existing and directing their focus.
