Cord

Every civilization celebrates its ambitions. Few remember what keeps it alive.


Today I generated an image using ChatGPT.

A baby in a suit, holding a rocket.

A glowing umbilical cord connects the child to a weakened Earth.

At first glance, the rocket draws all the attention.

The cord does not.

Yet the rocket contributes nothing to the baby’s survival.

The cord does all the work.

It made me wonder how often civilizations mistake the foreground for the foundation.

We celebrate ambition.

We celebrate expansion.

We celebrate what shines.


Meanwhile, the systems that sustain us slowly fade into the background.

Perhaps the most important things are not always the things we notice first.

Perhaps the background deserves more weight than we give it.
