We must change if we are to survive.
Let it go. Choose courage.

we remain double-bound
into the convulsions of
our scripts denying the
convolutions with certainty
The underestimations are structurally and systemically built into the fabric of an epistemological bias towards a continuation of what has been… this is a problem that will end us, soon and violently… can we be gentle & find a way away from the dominant metaphors & myths, now?

Jean Luc Picard: “Commander, please reverse direction and begin to fire engines at warp 9. We will go help the Ferengis instead.
ENGAGE”
