Are you saying there are things that planet has that do not belong to it?

No I am saying we are all dirt that emerged from the planet. Sooner or later (probably sooner) the planet takes back what belongs to it.

But, we ARE the planet. It is arrogant to visualize ourselves and what we create as something external to the planet.

You are agreeing with me. As dirt that emerged from the planet, we are a subset of the entire planet and thus are subject to its whims.

We agree, indeed
