syn·site
in fun terms: (exuberant): a "syn-site" is like a superhero of spaces, not stuck in one place or time but zooming across different locations and experiences, both real and virtual. It can be anywhere and everywhere, all at once, juggling a bazillion different things. Picture a super-charged, ultra-connected web of experiences that's constantly evolving and changing. It's like the ultimate party where everyone and everything is invited, from real-world objects to digital ideas, all interacting and influencing each other in a cosmic dance! (whimsical): imagine every place you've ever been, every dream you've ever had, every idea that's ever tickled your brain, all gathered together for a grand cosmic potluck. Each brings their own flavor, their own story, their own essence, creating a delightful, surprising, and sometimes bewildering mélange. That's a syn-site: a cosmic kitchen where reality's recipes get remixed, and the menu is always changing!

James Bridle on Wexler's warnings about indirect climate change (in the context of aspirational climate control):
"Before going into the details of several proposed weather modification programmers, Wexler gave a stark warning. He cited rising carbon dioxide emissions from industry, and the use of chlorine and bromine in rocket fuel as examples of indirect weather control. This tinkering might result in “rather large-scale effects on general circulation patterns in short or long periods, even approaching that of climatic change. Make no mistake,” he said, “We are in weather control now.”

"Part of the Anthropocene’s appeal was the sound of the word itself: portentous, stately, vaguely Latinate, imbued with a dark majesty. Another part of its appeal was its capaciousness — large enough to swallow the whole planet and everything that lives on it."
