No, the only way to change everythi

No, the only way to change everything is for something to be done to us instead. The encounter between humanity and an “other” entails a shift beyond the solipsism that has characterized our civilization since our civilization was born. It augurs a reversal as big as the encounter between an individual and its offspring or a creature and its creator. Even if this were to be the result of something we’d done, it would now be independent of us and our efforts.
