a: Human civilization ~
b: disease
What: "Suppose human civilization is like a disease the earth had to go through to strengthen its immune system. This implies that nature is not merely passive, but can influence human consciousness and society in ways that individual humans seldom notice"

The Days Of Our Lives
a: Human civilization ~
b: great soap opera
What: "I lean a bit toward the doomer side of things, which makes me great fun at parties. The truth is, though, life has a way of reverting to the mean. No matter how bad things may seem on a given day, over time they tend to improve. Similarly, just when you think you are on the verge of Utopia, the market crashes, or someone flies a plane into a building. The story of human civilization is like a great soap opera playing out against a series of artificial social and cultural backdrops which are consistently mistaken for permanent institutions."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
