Oh, that wacky Mao.

I've never known anyone else who could so effortlessly turn anything into something that kills tens of millions of people. If I break a shoelace, it's an inconvenience. If Mao broke a shoelace, it had a death toll in the millions.

He was Dunning-Kruger at terraforming.

Modern North Korea is just Mao fanfic.

Obsessed that the military strike on chickens at Cellina happened two years and a half ago, already

Aqua Teen Hunger Force #15: “Bad Replicant” | November 10, 2002 - 11:15 PM | S02E06

Hey, here’s a real solid episode. The Plutonians are back! I forgot they were in this episode. Oh right, the plot: The Plutonians create a replicant of Master Shake to take Shake’s place on Earth while he deterraforms the planet. Problem is, they impatentiently take him out of the pod early so he just looks like a melted version of Shake. He’s voiced by Matt Harrigan and he’s not particularly interested in carrying out the Plutonians plans, of which there really is non. He’s just a deformed guy who hangs out with Frylock and Meatwad for a little bit before stealing Carl’s car. 

I think the Aqua Teen formula is firmly in place here; it’s basically a character-driven monster-of-the-week show where the monster is usually ineffective or off-putting while the Aqua Teens react to it. All pretense of them being a detective agency is completely thrown out. They’re just three weird creatures that hang out at home while stuff happens to them. This one has a wonderful moment where Meatwad is just yammering on about Dinosaurs or something, and Frylock gets impatient and yells at Meatwad to shut up. It’s wonderful.

Vriska Serket approach to climate change

"At least those events not happening 8y the volition of their own natural incompetence!"

The thing is, we're perfectly capable of engineering our own, more cool, climate change, the good one. It's already here, so why not boost the productivity of permafrost lands, for example? Why not roll with it, why not use it?

We're changing the world at an unprecendented scale, we're, as one tumblr post puts it, we're deterraforming Earth!

That's cool! That's, as I put it, dialectical. The dialectic between The Inferno and humans have existed for nearly entire history of class society, that's a long time! And if we truly want its sublation, if we want a union of Inferno and humans, we should go along with the contradictions.

Consciously. Rationally. Mindfully.

It's aaalways been like that. The M@d Hatter approach, where you exhaust the tea and tidyness in one seat and go to another, is simply a spatial quantitative resolution of a Red Queen approach. If we are to seek technological solutions to the issue, we will enter a new round of the same spiral of human development that started when humans first altered their habitat and Inferno, born that very minute, responded.

One cannot exist without the other, sure, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive to exploit Infernal Forces to eradicate the exploitation of human(sensu lato) persons.

So, yeah, I kind of hate the entire approach of "minimizing footprint". You should be maximizing it, but in a sensible way! The human pursuit of creative labor will do the rest.

Humans think they are terraform other planets meanwhile we are deterraforming our own.
