Space is divine and ethereal because it is cleansed of humans.
Space is divine and ethereal because it is cleansed of humans. The issue begins when humans claim dominion over it: “naming,” “classifying,” “interpreting,” and so on. To contaminate planets and stars with astronomy and astrology is to infect them with humanity. There is a possibility that the Moon might be “purchased” in the future, as if it weren't enough that they have already gone there and defiled it thoroughly. The very thought that this old friend of mine in the sky could be opened to trade by humanity makes my stomach turn.
