the balance

the elements were once earth, wind, fire, and water. they have changed. they are now human, nature, machine, and art. just as we once had to keep a balance between the dirt and the sea, between the wind and the flames, so now must we keep a balance. the proportion of human: nature: machine: art should look like this:
1:4:2:4
instead, it looks like this:
7:2:9:6
this is the disaster at hand. the amount of nature is shrinking at an ridiculous speed, while the amount of machines and art is swelling so fast that we find ourselves overwhelmed by our "culture", as we call it. these swellings are all caused by one thing: the exponential increasing of humankind. we are reproducing at a quite alarming rate. and i have no idea what to do about it.

happy mother's day.
