Quote #7
It smelled like the country. It was a filet mignon farm, all of it, and the tissue spread for miles around the paths where we were walking. It was like these huge hedges of red all around us, with these beautiful marble patterns running through them. They had these tubes, they were bringing the tissue blood, and we could see the blood running around, up and down. It was really interesting. I like to see how things are made, and to understand where they come from. (29.11)
Talk about factory farming. The point here is that these people have no real connection to nature anymore, not even with their food. They don't even know what it's like to see a herd of cattle grazing on a real farm. We think we'll pass on that filet mignon at next week's company barbecue, thank you very much.
Quote #8
I saw fields and fields of black, it was this disgusting black s***, spread for miles. I saw walls of concrete fall from the sky and crush little wood houses. I saw a furry animal trying to stand up on its legs but the back ones were broken or not working, and it dragged itself with the front ones, whimpering, through someplace with gray dust, and needles coming out of the sand. Its jaws were open. I saw long cables going through the sea. (30.4)
Titus may be sleeping, but this is no dream: his feed has been hacked, and he's seeing images of environmental destruction around the world. This is like mutated frogs times 10.
Quote #9
We watched the sea move around. It was dead, but colorful.
It was blue when the sun hit it one way, and purple when the sun hit it another way, and sometimes yellow or green. We had on suits so we wouldn't smell it. (34.1-2)
Oooh, pretty. Except… you know what else looks purple, yellow, green, and blue? Oil spills on the surface of the water. Talk about dead oceans.
