The development of our species, as the story goes, came only through our progressive mastery over the forces of nature. We first built our lives with little more than calloused hands and strong backs, and every subsequent development in production represented another stronghold in the battle for global agency. Our generation has finally defeated nature, and our ability to harness the wind, water, and soil towards highly sophisticated purposes represents a new era of human dominion. But our declaration of victory was premature, for nature did not easily yield to our rule. The most vulnerable of our population now face unprecedented natural destruction, but through it all, our leaders urge us forward in our march. Their zeal is not universal, and their charges are now met with protest, disbelief, and apathy, so they have shifted their justification from overt domination to dreams of a future without suffering. but continue to call us to arms against each other and the world all the same. The collective consciousness of our species is today characterized by the latent fear that we have reached the doorstep of our demise. We gain nothing in our daily lives from obsessing over this idea, so we affect a guise of security. But from where it dwells in the back of our minds, this fear can drive anyone into a debilitating depression. Though we risk inflicting that fate upon ourselves, we hope by these songs to set the scene for a new kind of battle, one which we cannot win, but one which we may survive.
