If only we would realize that all the organisms of Earth are expressions of ‘the culture of spacetime’, and surely represent many living worlds among the stars. But we apparently either cannot or will not yet come to recognize something this incredibly obvious. Yet, if we could, we might have the opportunity to establish contact with the anciently conserved intelligences of Earth before we have eradicated them. And it would behoove us to do so, for our mentalistic descriptions of organisms are catastrophically impoverished. However useful they may appear in certain contexts, they are almost entirely wrong.
