You think about lifecycles, metamorphoses. How things become the next part of themselves. You could, and I do sometimes think of the whole biosphere as a solitary organism, evolution, us, Earth. And it's got setbacks sure but...
It's bad that things & people die. I hate that & it's a terrible shame. Still, everything dies & then the next things take their place. Over and over forever & ever. So I think about the doctors& the surgeons and the extension of the lives of people. Then the extension of cultures & tendencies. Nowadays the people live so long that they're able to impose regressive regimes upon the rest of the world I think on this & wonder if accelerationism is the right thing.
Do plagues clear the slate? Do disasters burn the land & make it fertile again? Is it required? More though, how is jumping the line going to change things for us, or does the change it's inflicted reinforce destruction by escalating stakes?
