^ i feel like it's a wisdom that comes only with experience, and that threshold is unique for each of us. i see it like this: eventually, disregard for unity will create an organization that works toward mutual destruction of the whole. this provides strong incentive to unify for mutual benefit, though for most humans complacency, apathy and obstacles of belief are the general rule. we are slow to react, and therefor the incentive must be very severe indeed. but the bias toward unification cannot be out-stepped long without consequence. if we do so much longer our genetic legacy will have been a failed cosmic experiment, and some earthly cousin will branch out to fill our place and try anew. . . for all things are equal to the cosmos. ours is a stint no more ripe for greatness than any other place, any other creature. what can make us special is
