WITH MAN/GORILLA GONE WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR GORILLA/MAN
Civilization is captivity
Take it or leave it
Takers are civilized/captive Leavers are primitive/primal
Take what you can get Get what you give Leave and let live
A story is a scenario interrelating human, the world, and the gods. To enact a story is to live so as to make the story a reality. A culture is a people enacting a story.
The story of Genesis is a story that casts mankind as the enemy of the world. It says, "The world was made for man and man was made to conquer and rule the world." Complete control is the goal.

I am equal to the gods and know what is good and evil like them: "to grow without limits is good, to accept the limits of the law is evil." Hence we shall blanket the earth.
"I am one, my liege, whom the vile blows and buffets of the world have so incens'd that I am reckless what I do to spite the world."
It took 500 generations to get this perverse, from 8000 YA to today
Story
p. 243: "...man does have a place in the world, but it's not his place to rule. The gods have that in hand. ... Man's place is to be the first without being the last.
"This is what we need. Not just stopping things. Not just less of things. People need something positive to work for. ... They need more than a vision of doom. They need a vision of the world and of themselves that inspires them."
"You must change people's minds."
No need to leave like Leavers. We live and let live. Livers transcend Takers.
p. 253: "Breaking out of the Taker prison is a common cause to which all humanity can subscribe."
The world was made for man and man was made to rule it. Man's destiny is total control of nature with technology then comes star trek then comes paradiso only, no! man is flawed and hopelessly so lawless and flawful until falling becomes flight & we soar headshort into the soapy surf riding tidal currents seeing vitals weren't otterly kneaded doh! we've had enough! ... all along diversity ensures survival we compete to balance up natural limits are the law
