Another Sapiens reader. Look, I don't care how uppity those maize are -- there's no way they trained us into cultivating them, we slaughtered their brothers and sisters and kept only the tamer, weaker, fatter renditions that we could use for our own means. If that benefits them, then they're psychopaths.
Corn is not sentient, and I will die on this hill!
I feel like I heard this perspective elsewhere...it may have been The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. Which I really enjoyed, myself.
But everyone knows that the kingdom that's really in charge is the fungi.
Well, you must be a real fungi at parties.
Giving in to the wheat propaganda, I see
so one of those Wheat Council creeps go to you to too, huh?
YOU BETTER RUN, WHEAT!
that was an edgy idea in the book, but stuff like that happens in ecological systems all the time. I read the book around the time of the election, and it read like a manifesto to justify oligarchic takeover as the next phase of human development (see the part how societal rules where assigned to the government and how the internet will take it back)
