I’m a pretty conscious person, relatively green-oriented and simplicity-minded . . . but I can’t resist the toxic dynamics.

More and more. Driving and accessing and friending and involving and generally expanding and doing and going and using.

I can’t control the hypertrophy.

Clearly we, collectively, can’t control the hypertrophy. So we, collectively, will run into the wall. Then go into a crucible of deconstruction.

Hopefully we’ll come out the other end.

At that other end: There’s no reason why we couldn’t / shouldn’t live like the Native Americans did here on Turtle Island for thousands and thousands of years.
