All people are simultaneously familiar and foreign to the history of nature. Humans were born from the dirt and the germs, much like all of life; Humanity recognizes this life, through the impartment of which it makes itself separate.
With the functions of both life and the replication of life, humanity assumes the role of a counterfeit life, a secondary system to nature.
We are left stranded, concurrently a product and mimicry of the cosmos around us: a mere knock-off of the original, lost in space.
