Where do all the houses come from? It seems like it must
have been a lot of work to create all of the things that we see now, clustering
in intricate coagulations. Brick buy steel beam by brick. Expanding on the
outskirts, but slowly decaying within it. And as the cities grow, they overlap
and replace anything in the way. The forest collapses in preparation for the
incoming urban apocalypse, only to be re-planted in a desperate mimicry void of
the fierce inexplicable wild that was somehow lost. Is this a bad thing? Not
quite. Is it truly even an un-natural thing, in the end? Humans are just as
truly pure and “natural” as any wild and free animal by themselves, but the
real dispute seems to more concern their by-products. Mainly, their cities and
towns. But again, why are they any less natural than the tools of chimpanzees?
More complexity is not evil.
