For you, Earth is the place, what is called in Greek a hapax, a name that appears only once, and this name pertains to the members of your species, the Earthbound, just as well – or, if you prefer, idiot. “We are idiots; everything that happens to us happens only once, only to us, only here.” —Bruno Latour in Gaia
