A tumor is a part of an organism that has mutated to play a much shorter game than the organism itself. Humanity seems to be a tumor on the biosphere. The industrial revolution is that happy moment when the host was switched to mostly delivering nutrients to the tumor.

I think humanity has a choice to decide if it wants to be a tumor or not.

Humanity is not even an agent. How could it make decisions?

There is a free agent (or a set of free agents) in this universe. Some of them act through the bodies and brains of humanity. Whoever that is, if they are listening, they need to channel themselves into the medium of humanity.

All the agency is focused in the decision that you make yourself in every single moment, and is based on the models and preferences that earlier instances of you constructed in past moments. The entire universe, including yourself, is mechanical.

Metaphysics as a swaggering global movement that galumphes with the fashions of imagined progress among hypothetical paradigmsetters that you hallucinate to the rhythm of your own epistemological spiraling? :P
