- "There's nothing unnatural in nature. Extinction is natural. The invention of oxygen wiped out 80% of Earth's biosphere. If you had a time machine, would you stop that? Save all the purple archaea to live in their mats of slime, at the cost of trilobites, trees, and the spoken word?
- "Yes, humanity caused mass extinction. We changed the world, everywhere we went, and what couldn't adapt died. That's how nature figures out its own future. What survived is an interstellar civilization. Like that first blast of oxygen into the Proterozoic furnace, we burnt our biosphere to take the next step." - Chap Sovann, personal remarks (fragment downloaded from AISV Cicada archives)
