Distractions

Other Earths

Planetocopia is a group of model worlds supporting intelligent life. Some of these worlds are set in our future, some are alternate Earths, some are purely imaginary experiments in planetology, biology, sociology. They fall into four series: Tilt!, Futures, the Biosphere Variations, and Caprices.

The geology and the maps are lovely; the biology not as much.

May I suggest, without really looking into this (extremely cool) bank, that your view is to be expected from a guy who knows way more about biology than about geology and maps; and that a geologist would probably tell you that the geology suxors but oh-my-god-look-at-those-cute-humanoid-cats.

In such a case (and I can make any case look like such a case), it is clear that the fault lies not with the bankers, but with the observer. This observation comes as no surprise to me – it is they, after all, who are being productive, while all you do is bad-mouth them in your blog.

As a biologist, you will surely notice the food-chain this latter observation delineates. A dream-world where creative people are plants, receiving information directly from the source and transforming it into books and movies and dream-banks which are then devoured by herds of bloggers (the kine) who – through a process of regurgitation! – turn most of it into shit while concentrating the rest into information so dense it clogs your arteries.

The bloggers, in turn, are cultivated out of proportions by a society of humanoid cats with digestive systems degenerated to the point they can’t even read a book. This mass cultivation leads – through an improper distribution of resources – to obese Americans, starving Africans, and the destruction of the censorship layer by blogger-farts.

Top of the food-chain again,
I.
