The body we inhabit

Imagine the surface of the world is a body that we inhabit.

The streets, railroads, and ports for air and sea travel are the skeleton that structures our movement.

The oil and gas pipelines and electricity grids are the vascular system that delivers the resources of energy.

The internet cables, satellites, data centers, and cellular networks are the nervous system enabling communication among the different parts of the world.

Organs are countries with their unique industries, products for export, and local cultures.

We are the individual cells.

We move, grow and replicate.

Just like our cells.

We consume resources like oxygen, food, and water. We excrete metabolic waste like C2O, urea, and more.

And when the waste products leave the cell, it doesn’t mean they have left the body. The waste must be processed. In fact, unless the pathways of respiration (air), detoxification (sewer), and excretion (waste management) are in order the waste accumulates and ruins the body’s internal environment.

It’s important that our cells don’t produce more waste than the body can process.

Just like ourselves.
