it's a rigged game, and the results are everywhere, in flood and fire, in hunger, in forced migration, in genocide. how are we to adapt to the world we've made? artificial life? human ingenuity is a cancer on the earth. we're on an insane trajectory. earth will inevitably expunge us.
for the moment all we can do is strive for sanity. earth will do what it needs to do to save itself, after us.
