A poetic exchange about evolutionary pressure and 'letters into silence'
One post imagines a billion years of evolutionary pressure loaded onto someone in a couple of years; a quote-post turns toward tenderness.
TLDR
One writer calls it an honor to have 'a billion years of evolutionary pressure' loaded onto you in a couple of years, likening it to the 'nigredo of a philosopher's stone.' Quoting that post, another says the feeling is not grandeur but 'aching retroactive tenderness' for 'all those letters into silence.'
