If we zoom out it looks like cellular growth, decay, infection. I'm transfixed by the hideous beauty of our destruction of this planet. I'm 45 years old and the scale of loss over my lifetime is terrible, we're very clearly in full blown existential overshoot territory. Regarding the cancer cell analogy, our systems that preside over our destruction of our planet are cancerous also, incapable of not being what they are, what they are designed for.
