“We compare ourselves to Nature as if it is some extrinsic thing or force. This is analogous to my own hand fomenting a coup in a desperate bid for physical sovereignty over the rest of my body, and, specifically, my brain.

Can you imagine the outcome? I mean, success or failure… it barely makes a difference. Yet this is the standing irony of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. We are like fish trying to burn down the ocean.”
