“If you took the temperature honestly, you’d include the land, the water, the organisms within and around the situation, perhaps even the cells within your own body…

The graph of such a temperature would comprise a multi-layered topology. Imagine what it would reveal…

Doing the single valued ‘take the air temp’ game, deprives people of reason. They never see the local diversity of temperatures, all in relationship.

And how they’re affecting them.

A place filled with organisms is a temperature symphony. Cities, factories and other dead places have flat temperature music. The music of mediating it together is destroyed by those.

A flat temperature reading is like a mind that thinks it knows things. As the problem worsens, the one causing it quickly loses the ability to detect the problem. Their minds cook in the lethal bath of Celsius and Fahrenheit.”
