Thanks, Jan, but whether one buys into this 'conspiracy' or not, my real
question in my piece was whether humans can ever stop buying into revenge
(meant philosophically as in Nietzsche's 'revenge against time and its it
was', the very history of metaphysics and its allies {gestell, etc}, that
keeps humans bound in these vicious cycles). This, in some ways, comes down
to the ways humans use the earth (economic plundering & devastation,
'conservation' too, etc), more importantly that humans _use_ the earth at
all; can we ever leave it all a-lone? Let (it) be? Where is the no?
