Landscape - Solitude (Richard Westall, 1811)

“The human mind is only capable of absorbing a few things at a time. […] We observe a fraction of the process, like hearing the vibration of a single string in an orchestra of supergiants. We know, but cannot grasp, that above and below, beyond the limits of perception or imagination, thousands and millions of simultaneous transformations are at work, interlinked like a musical score by mathematical counterpoint. It has been described as a symphony in geometry, but we lack the ears to hear it.”

— Stanisław Lem, Solaris

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.
