Equation of the future

The Earth, like everything else in the universe, is a profoundly complex equation defined by countless variables. Some of these variables are known to us, but most remain beyond our understanding. While we can predict the effects of some changes, many lie outside our comprehension. Neither the Earth nor the universe cares how this equation evolves—they simply respond to shifting variables. Ironically, it’s we who care, yet we relentlessly alter the equation in pursuit of profit, even as each change undermines our own future.
