One is ancient: the slow, patient intelligence of forests, roots, soil, and all the living systems that have kept this planet alive for hundreds of millions of years. The other is brand new: artificial intelligence, automation, and the wave of technology reshaping how we work, build, and think.

Both are about intelligence in service of life, or intelligence in service of extraction. The choice is ours. Trees Were Never Just Timber Long before satellites measured carbon sinks or algorithms modeled climate systems, human beings already understood that forests were something sacred.
