More seeds than we ever need
Nature does not do excess. Greedy accumulation. Profligate hoarding. She is consummately efficient.
She does enjoy abundance, particularly when left alone from Wetico seduced humans.
Seeds, seeds. Everywhere. They lie dormant for generations.
Waiting, waiting for the right conditions.
Seeds are encoded life. Or life in suspended animation. They can drive a gardener mad when one type of seed takes the upper hand, more often than not indicating elements in the soil, the ecology, out of balance. That desire towards equilibrium is intrinsic to living systems.
Just as the black fossils we value so much are stored energy. Billions of years of decomposed life, compressed into an explosive force of generative motion.
Nature’s bank account. Primed and ready for use.
Yet we humans shun our daily abundant energy allowance from renewable resources. We, claiming ourselves as super smart innovators, still have not directed our full attention to directing the abundance of the sun and wind to providing generative energy for all life. The capture of greed from those addicted to the black gold is too great.
Compare Nature’s Bank Account to human bank accounts. Money, or, to be more precise, digits representing money, entries on a spreadsheet. This uncorrelated artefact is supposed to represent human innovative and energetic value. It is a token facsimile of value. Yet it can be used to animate ideas, and ideas are more akin to a seed or compacted fossils.
If we use the digital codes called money to animate ideas that serve life, then we can correlate money to seeds and fossils. If we use the digital codes to create more digital codes while exploiting life, there is zero correlation.
Because money and digital codes are the intermediaries between idea and action, unlike seeds and fossils, its use is always contextual.
