While many environmentalists still contend that most technology is detrimental to the environment, technogaianists argue that it has been in humanity's best interests to exploit the environment mercilessly until fairly recently, following accurately to current understandings of evolutionary systems; when new factors (such as foreign species or mutant subspecies) are introduced into an ecosystem, they tend to maximize their own resource consumption until either, a) they reach an equilibrium beyond which they cannot continue unmitigated growth, or b) they become extinct. In these models, it is impossible for such a factor to totally destroy its host environment, though they may precipitate major ecological transformation before their ultimate eradication.[citation needed]
