Seeds for Survival
At the time I write this, the news and entertainment media, along with a sizeable public audience, are captivated by the finale of the series, “Succession.” I haven’t watched the series, but I am fascinated by the very concept of succession. Who and what will come after me, after my human heart ceases to beat, my lungs stop breathing, my brain stops firing neurotransmitters across synapses?
When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.
