“You realize, of course, the Omegans nearly lost this Earth. They
had everything yet let it disintegrate through their rampant carelessness.
Two hundred years past they possessed the rudimentary beginnings
of the NET to bring them together. They called it the Internet.
Yet they treated it like a toy, tribalized themselves, and thus nearly lost
the planet.
“Nationalist wars, self serving ideologies, competing religions . . .
more significant, though not to the Omegans, was climate change
itself, which mattered more than any petty dogma, but they ignored
it until too late. It has ultimately determined our lives, managed now
by the CORPORATE, using the only possible tools to survive. There
were billions of Humans then. There is now but a fraction of that:
some 300 million we know in the MEGS and, of course, the uncounted
MASSes.”

“لو كان الإنسان تطور من الكائنات الدنيا لظهرت نماذج عديدة من المخلوقات العاقلة (وأنواع مختلفة من الإنسان ذوي صفات متباينة واختلافات تشريحية وجينية كثيرة كالاختلافات الموجودة بين فصائل الأسماك والطيور) وليس نوعا واحدا”
