We are, most probably, the only species to foresee its own extinction - and perfect the means to achieve it.
We measured collapse, celebrated it as innovation, and called the ruins progress.

Cities will drown, then burn, then rebuild - smaller, meaner, hungrier.
Borders will harden; people will move anyway.
Children will grow up asking what “normal weather” used to mean.
And we will tell them stories of seasons that once knew their place.

The air will taste like heat.
The rains will come all at once - or not at all.
Fields will turn to dust, rivers to memory.
Food will be scarce, water will be currency.

Zero sugar, yet a symphony of lab-born thrills: sucralose, caffeine, taurine…
Like a science fair in your bloodstream.
Monster’s love letter to the 21st-century metabolism.

📌 In Nature:
7σ ≠ Nature
Natural variability rarely exceeds 2σ.
7σ means the system has changed.
Radically.

📌 In Industrial Engineering (Six Sigma):
6σ = "Perfect" process: 3.4 defects per million
7σ = 0.019 defects per billion
A 7σ event is beyond "perfection". It’s fantasy.

Einstein? Nowhere close.
No human has ever scored near that.

📌 If Coin Tosses were normally distributed:
7σ = 1 head out of 390 billion tosses
You’d wait longer than the universe has existed to see it once.
We just saw it in the ocean.

📌 If Human Height were normally distributed:
+7σ = A person 3.50 meters (11.5 feet) tall
That’s taller than a giraffe.
It simply doesn’t happen.
