HUMANOCENE

The images, raising major ethical issues, should make us reverse cultural canons, reaffirming that there are no geographies resembling us humans but only details of the Planet to which we belong (and thus, indirectly, resemble). The Earth by now has too many scars on its body, too many deep holes where “…oil has become an ultimate telluric lubricant…” (Reza Negarestani, “Cyclonopedia”), too many collapses that manifest the post-human split between origin and consequence. Awareness of being particles and not primary constituents of the Planet is the right frequency to limit the “geological” ambitions of late capitalism. HUMANOCENE as awareness of our stalemate, giving Gaia the responsibility of being definitively Human.
