When you have a child
You create a half-clone of yourself.
And then you try your damnedest
To prevent unfavourable phenotypic expression.

#Idea – Love / 29.08.19
Love is a biochemical strategy concocted by your genes
To help them propagate.
It is dressed up in social ritual
And awash in oxytocin.
And yet
To know this
Is not to diminish its power in any real way.

Some people have the ‘problem’ in which
They are ready to die, but their body isn’t.
Usually, it’s the other way round.
Perhaps death is best when both mind and body are in agreement.

Decreasing dependence on each other.

Life is a story with no plot,
Changed with every retelling.

#Idea – Slaughter / 11.11.19
A cow that is killed by a bolt to its head
Will die more quickly and painlessly than most of us.
And, like most of us,
The cow won’t have a say in the matter.

#Idea – The Human Biomass / 23.08.19
Collectively, the human race is an organism
That converts accessible energy and the biosphere into more of itself.
Viewed from sufficient distance, our activity resembles that of bacteria.
