'The Sorceress' by Jan van de Velde II, 1626
You are my death, you are my dignity. You keep me out of breath, You strike and strangle me. Caress me with your iron glove. I always cry, and you always love. Abuse all my devotions, 'Cause I can't get enough.
We need to change how we view the Anthropocene. While human impact is ubiquitous, it does not mean all interactions have led to destruction. This mindset distances both us from nature and nature from us. In contrast, the mindset of indigeneity sees humans as part of nature and has evolved technologies that use biodiversity as a building block. A new mythology of technology in the era of the Anthropocene can replace the pending threat that Nature will destroy us with the optimism that a collaboration with Nature can save us.
