Just as most cells do not survive outside of their organ, most humans are no longer able to be picked up from their cities and dropped off in the middle of Desolation Wilderness and expect to survive. Organs are not generally able to survive outside their body, nor are most cities able to live independently any more. If all lines of communication were cut off from San Francisco, we would not be able to survive. The city is dependent on outside sources for food and water, energy and clothing. Maybe our highways and transportation systems developed the way they have for the same reasons that our veins and arteries developed the way they have.
Is war like the liver dropping bombs on the kidneys? Is apathy like the lungs saying they don’t give an expletive deleted if the folks in the heart are starving? If we are all the same entity on infinite levels, then when we allow other creatures to suffer aren’t we really creating suffering for ourselves?
When humans colonize a new area, they immediately start grouping (e.g. by family, products produced, religion) and immediately start creating trails for communication between the groups. Cancer does much the same when it groups into tumors and creates a vascular system within a tumor to attach to the blood supply. All cancer cells apparently have this ability to create blood vessels (trails?) to attach to the blood supply. Most humans also appear to have trail-blazing capabilities.
