"Is it necessarily true that we would detect meaningful patterns, in the same sense of our own intelligence level, in the behavior of a superior race? Is it not much more likely that we would find in their actions only random data and incoherent pictures, much as a dog would if confronted with a mathematician writing on a blackboard?" — Sep 12, 2026 10:54AM

"Petroleum poisons Capital with absolute madness, a planetary plague bleeding into economies mobilized by the technological singularities of advanced civilizations. In the wake of oil as an autonomous terrestrial conspirator, Capitalism is not a human symptom but rather a planetary inevitability. In other words, Capitalism was here even before human existence, waiting for a host." — Sep 01, 2026 08:39PM

“These-- and the innumerable meaner creatures, the lizard and the frog, the insect and the worm-- have tenure in the land. The other, latecoming things-- the beasts of burden and trade, the horse and the sheep, the dog and the cat-- these have an alien and inferior aspect, a poverty of vision and instinct, by which they are enstranged from the wild land, and made tentative. They are born and die upon the land, but then they are gone away from it as if they had never been. Their dust is borne away in the wind, and their cries have no echo in the rain and the river, the commotion of wings, the return of boughs bent by the passing of dark shapes in the dawn and dusk.”
