When the planet is "cognitively trapped" as "the environment"

In 2022, I moved this article to Medium: "Re-envisioning 'Environment'"

It's not about "the environment." Stop using this phrase. It's about whether life on Earth collapses into a shadow of its former magnificence. It's about whether humankind thrives and evolves, or descends into a long and brutal dark age on a less habitable planet.
