 This is an excellent extremely long range view big picture on the Grand Scale of Time (BigTime) projecting where we are going in terms of humans beings as a shaping force of our own planet.  Unlike the shaping forces of the past that were inherently natural like us, we are  thinking, conscious self aware things, individually at the granular level, collectively at social levels, that  are aware of our environment like every other natural thing.....trees, rocks, air...but have the capacity to act in response to our environment and change it rapidly as a function of our intelligence rather than over spans of billions of years.

Where we are going does not look good.

This offers the multitude of riffs on what was said but they all convey the same meaning:
http://biblehub.com/genesis/1-28.htm
Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground."

The author of Earth in Human Hands asked when did our epoch start?

Maybe when the SelfEndowed ability Methods and Messages to do it were "given" to us as a divine right by our Common Parent ObjectMyth from which we as All Children of the Parent inherit all Its Attributes and Methods with the sole (Soul) exception of Its SuperNatural Attributes that transcend SpaceTime of our existence in a NaturalWorld?

We declared the Truths of Endowment to be SelfEvident, InalienableRights.

Perhaps in our rapidly Changing Environment we need a new "Declaration of Dependence"?

Or maybe.....maybe.....maybe just change the name of the old Declaration from Independence to Dependence?  The content of the Declaration would be the same but have a HigherOrder meaning in the "Course of Human Events"?

This blog entry has legs to go somewhere but that is about as far as I can run with it applying my ObjectOriented view of the World and expressing it the way I see it through my own EntryPoint to the ProblemDomain.

I find these images to be prophetic.  Pick a favorite!

Click on this one.  I like the addition of the leave as the granular lowest level object gathering the light that grants the existence of life.

David's Ted talk give new meaning to the leaf in the image above.

My recent journey to Standing Rock weaves through the thoughts of this blog entry.
