Nah, dat's his emotional support animal for taking the subway.
Very much agree. The weird thing are those cycles. Like Stewart Brand's pace layers:
Some of that churn is what the cycles are from a supply side. Some of that churn is resistance to change. So you get TikTok trends at the top with culture evolving only slightly faster than nature.
That said, given the mass extinction of species, rising waterlines, droughts and floods, etc., these days, I'm not so sure nature isn't cycling faster than culture sometimes.
