the chemical era.
the most genius thing i’ve seen done is to trick the public into believing that other outcomes exist. and watching them truly believe in it. when I was a little girl in the 90s I remember opening my door and breathing in the fresh air out in rural California. that feeling I haven’t had in years. it was those early summer mornings before it was scorching hot - right around 7am when the yellow crop dusters would pour over the crops. The dusters used to fly so low I thought they were actually trying to hit me, so I’d duck. And I used to love that smell, too.
But as with most things in life - we need to be preoccupied with something other than our being. We need things to believe in that might be better for us humans, overall. So we look to green energy. I used to work as a C-Suite EA at a solar company, and while I have nothing against green energy - obviously, I’m astounded by the number of people who look around and believe that the world we live in had cleaner air … 100 years ago? 200 years ago? 1000 years ago? You’re going to have to go a lot further back than that.
no one ever talks about when the asteroid hit the earth. did we forget that foreign objects outside of earth that suddenly enter have the ability to create changes in weather patterns? did we forget that there exists in the air we breathe tiny particles of what killed the ancient beasts?
A tiny fragment of the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago may have been found encased in amber – a discovery NASA has described as “mind-blowing. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/11/world/dinosaur-apocalypse-tanis-fossil-site-scn/index.html#:~:text=A%20tiny%20fragment%20of%20the,as%20“mind%2Dblowing.”
66 million years ago. - today.
for the longest time it seems no one knew about cancer, or at least, it didn’t have a name until recently. and genetically - you have to wonder how much choice you really have to fight it. But cancer, it turns out, isn’t new. this world we live in, hasn’t been clean for a very, very, very, long time.
and so to think, that we could undo all of that damage in our time, is indeed powerful, and while even I attempt to lessen the carbon footprint, is also nearly impossible. that’s because the earth is already inundated with chemicals. it IS too late. just look up the history of cancer. humans HAVE evolved WITH chemicals. they live inside of us. they’re in the food we eat. just look at the very thing that gives us life - the sun, which is also the very thing that can kill us with its very powerful radiation. You know why? because that’s the way it’s been for a very long time. this earth, inhabited by humans, doesn’t really belong to us. we’re floating in the galaxy and no one wants to steal any information from us because THAT’S how far behind we actually are.
meanwhile, “spy” balloons in the air will distract you from history because most people are idiots. and it brings us back down to the very thing we do best as humans, destroying each other.
