“What I would like people to understand is that the vast proportion of their abilities, intelligences, and capacities to live fulfilling lives depend on forging small, tightly-knit, heroically oriented groups. This is the nature of our historical and evolutionary endowments, and they are largely obliterated by ‘societies of the individual’.

Secondly, after that insight what is crucial to understand is as terrifying as it is compelling. The forces that have captured and dominate modern human collectives are not human. They are not minds, persons, alive or even intelligent. They despise the existence of organisms, which they cannot control and which represent a threat to their urgent mandate to reign over all phenomenon in absolute sovereignty, and they similarly despise intelligence, creativity, play, dreaming and innovation… for the same reason. Left unopposed by our common failure to compose intelligent human collectives, they will destroy this planet… and if they could, they would go after the sun, the solar system and even the universe. They are urgently motivated to obliterate anything that threatens their vulnerability to all that exceeds their terror at anything that ‘is better than’ the dead nothing inside them.”
