“I think you should dream the earth, because it has a heart and breathes.”
— DAVI KOPENAWA, interview to F. Watson, July 1992.
“Human Cultures were originally homeostatic; they existed in a self-sustaining equilibrium, with no notions of time and progress, like we’ve got.
Then the city-virus got in. No one’s really sure where it came from or who brought it to us, but like all viral organisms, its one directive is to use up all available resources in producing copies of itself.
More and more copies until there’s no raw material left and the host body, overwhelmed, can only die.
The cities want us to become good builders. Eventually, we’ll build rockets and carry the virus to other worlds.”

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I
cannot change, courage
to change the things
I can, and wisdom
always to tell the
difference
