Quote From a Book

"An awareness that grows and deepens. An intelligence that is made to join and join and join. This is how life began; this is how it goes on living."

And

"Humanity was an ecological disaster, as far as Phyllis was concerned. A misstep made by an otherwise magnificently intelligent system of life and death. Evolution could do so much better. Someday, it would."

And

"...[T]here are some things that cannot be taught. Some things that a body innately knows--or doesn't."

~~all from The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton

We need to work, not just on cutting the strings, but on understanding the machinery of the puppet show and dismantling it.

Religious fanaticism, ethnic factionalism, and p*litical extremism will engulf the planet, and the pillage of the natural world will indeed accelerate as the elite make one last futile attempt to gather as much capital as possible in an effort to wall themselves off from the inevitable...Civilization's abrupt retreat will be marked the world over by every flavor of warring chief in crisp, elegantly tailored suits murdering to obtain power in the hope that they might rule this barbaric and alien age."
