I am a compost-ist, not a posthuman-ist: we are all compost, not posthuman.
This quote gives me the idea of human identity not as "poshuman" beings, but as part of Earth's cycles of decay and renewal. This emphasizes the connection to microbes, soil, and death. I think this view is unsettling because it give sus to face mortality while an ongoing ecological process.
The edge of extinction is not just a metaphor; system collapse is not a thriller.
Haraway worries that the extinction and the collapse are real. They stated that this highlights the seriousness of today's crises, and this is powerful because it provides a reason for what is happening to animals, humans, and ecosystems, which is a life-threatening situation that is not meant for entertainment.
No species, not even our own arrogant one pretending to be good individuals in so-called modern Western scripts, acts alone; assemblages of organic species and of abiotic actors make history,
Here, I feel like Haraway doesn't like the idea that humans are more important than other beings on Earth. She reveals that animals, plants, and nonliving forces were the main factors that made history on Earth. I can agree that problems like climate change have been caused by other things on Earth, but this is what helps us work towards us surviving together.
