Sixth Extinction

In search of meaning, to overlook the same, universities prevented finding out, think tanks prevented thinking. Along came a spider, "leave the scientists out, no need bother about the end of bio, the end of man." They said this while they tried to decide whether to extinct the cat or the rabbit first, forgetting the snake and the mouse. Who can think of everything? Against all ancient logic and practice, which thought nature the sole epic, man defeated nature and became the epic himself! It was called the Sixth Extinction.

A linear examination showed all studies to be further denials. Way before The Black Swan proved human expertise corrupt, "it is, rather, largely the result of work by people with PhDs" says David Orr c. 1990, 1950 proved too soon to talk of junkyard shells cast off by *autodactylmorphs. How wonderfully we void the question of wilderness, its true nature. What does it mean that "science has conquered nature but nature must not be conquered?" Is this the product of natural forces, Co2, or things buried before the age began, above us in air and under in the sea? The epic says it is. The metaphor about a giant metaphor prepares reality.

Working back, working around, we come on the Noah/Jonah pariah cast into the sea to save the ship lest everyone drown. Jonah in the fish is no graveyard, it is a way of saying yes. Before he is cast upon the beach Noah Meets the Wilderness, which is what we do when we throw our outcasts out, put them up on our sins, tie their hands and drive them out. We manufacture the horse from sin, donkeys, mules anything to carry them. They threw them overboard in the past, but did not want to throw Paul to save themselves because he saved them all (Acts 27). Cases are never the same, he is their salvation, not a pariah. How to tell apart, pariah from savior?

That is exactly our problem, put another way, dents where there should be prints. Wolf print forces dent our car hoods at night and in the morning we learn what they have wreaked. This is not to analyze either nature or human acts. We reach far below to the hidden recess of consciousness that makes the act. Call it sin, call it crime, or not, do anything to avoid the obvious to own, not somebody else. Crimes are against some law. Sins the same. What is the law? Deny that.
