Max,

Rationality is an inch thick crust over a billion years of emotion.

Eventually we will have to come to terms with the fact the centripetal forces pulling us together will always exist in that overwhelming harmony of infinity. Waves and whirls in the ocean.

When the organism becomes separated from the ecosystem, it dies.

Tribes of people are like herds of antelope, or flocks of birds. Our technology is more evolved than our cultures. Eventually we will have to leave the Bronze Age behind.

Though it might take generations, ours seem determined to speed up the process.

The future is a continuation of the past, until it becomes a reaction to it.
