Anthropomorphism and the Anthropocene

Abstract If humanity can be considered a geological force at war with Earth, can Earth be considered a social force gravitationally imprisoning humanity? The answer is “yes,” and this explains why new concepts and hypotheses are advanced. Among others, these include the idea of the Gravity Wars, anthropomorphism, the anthropocentric picture of humanity as a geological force as the dual face of human vanity, and humanity's collective Stockholm syndrome, evident in its seeing itself as the sole actor in global warming.
