this is what "silicon valley made the modern world" is about. they believe they have captured the apparatus of culture. but what they have actually done is shrunk it: trapped its illusion in the screens you and I are looking at right now. yet there's a burning world outside, and computers crash too.

what they understand is that humans are downstream of the environments they inhabit, the acts of cultivation from which "culture" is derived, and seeing the flourishing of things that oppose their domination and exploitation, they opt to burn the field in the hopes of lording over their chosen weeds
