"It was the geographer Carl Sauer who said: “Man found the planet a climaxed primeval forest. He”—and notice the gender here—“will leave the planet a weedy lot.” A weedy lot. Well now, this is a metaphor where you exchange climaxed rainforest for weeds, but it’s also true."
“Ethylene is a gas. Really! Put green tomatoes into a bag with a ripe banana, and ethylene released from the banana seems to magically transform rock-hard tomatoes into soft and juicy delights.”

"Only the climaxed tropical rainforest has the kind of complexity of signal transfer, movement of nutrient materials, movement of electromagnetic radiation found in the modern city. It's a cliché of modernity that the city is a jungle—the problem is it isn’t jungle enough."

"...By clearing land, we promote the kind of plant evolution that stresses very rapid seed production and annular cycles of growth—in other words: weeds."
- Terence McKenna
