Current Working Hypothosis / New Zealand Update


The whole New Zealand experience locks down a simple truth : Humans are wee little cocky ass pantywaists.

What kind of idiot fucks are we to presume our tyranny over Mother-Earth? Carelessly polluting, eroding, mining, draining, paving, killing. Papatuanuku will squash us with a glance.

She has pulled towering black mountains from the depths of the sea. She has yanked entire continents asunder. She has strewn billions of white-hot stars into the milky way, hurling them across distances our tiny crazy brains cannot comprehend. She reigns at the speed of light; dominates with infinite time. Our entire species is lost in the trace of a single teardrop.

Moss and ferns and milky white ice will cover our selfish dead bodies, strewn over the poisoned planet we begat.

I felt the same way diving off the coast of Belize. The earth is incredible.

Did you ever see that "Earth After People" show on History Channel? After some number of years post human extinction high rise buildings would develop miniature eco-systems with the descendants of house cats as their top predators - go Alex!
