After tens of thousands of years of going forth and multiplying, we've reached the edge of the global petri dish.
Do we crash and burn, or accept that while we are hyper-focused, goal oriented organisms, nature is cyclical, circular, reciprocal and feedback generated?
The ideal state of efficiency will be when we can do everything with nothing.
Is god the essence from which we rise, or an ideal from which we fell? The light shining through the film or the images on it?
Maybe it will all blow back, the whole towering pile of leveraged debt implodes and the focus on war is lost.
Without the ups and downs, it's a flatline anyway, so the price we pay to feel is that a lot of it is pain and the price we pay to think is that a lot of it is confusion.
