One of the very first pages of the Geologic Now PDF has a string of phrases across the page. One reads “Design for an Infinite Quarantine”. In the context of the readings, I realized that we are the infectious disease and it is the earth that needs to be protected. Over the time humans have […]
We are living on a different planet than that of our ancestors because we are able to alter the world in more significant ways than they ever could- they re-acted to geologic events, we can enact geologic events. As is written in the beginning of Making the Geologic Now, “These [geologic] are forces to be […]

Depending on the complexity of the stockpile different simple forms of life can procreate. These allow for a large […]
The earth is in constant reconstruction. Organisms constantly collect and stockpile resources. Naturally waves, wind, even the moving earth are all effects that are prone to organize and move resources. Almost every action has an effect of stockpiling. By this definition all actions can be looked at as an organism. Biologically by consuming, certain elements […]
