“It is as if a ring of animals came together and invoked the humans as the vehicle of collective animalian intelligence on Earth, raised them up from apes to gods, and then, in a fit of terror and amnesia, the humans turned upon the source of their own nobility and intelligence and began laying waste to it egregiously, thinking this somehow righteous, good, or, at the very least, excusable. It is like your hand attacking your face, thinking that its power to manipulate endows it with distinct rights of disposal as they may relate to the rest of the body. Yet the hand itself has no brain, and, in acting in its own regard, acts against it.”
