Transformed minds are what produce 'commodities', or more so an envionment conducive to a comfortable world; the mentality that does not even stretch to the ramifications of a civilization shaped by enhanced humans is a dangerous thing, producing policy guided by misaligned and incomplete rationale. Perhaps most problematic, potentially causing a reduction in those who can even consider and interact with such systems at all.

We tend to get a lot of things backwards when considering the hows and whys of behavior. The underlying nature is diffuse and chaotic, hard to describe or point at. These superficial differences are built on top of or used to leverage our inclinations and so provide perfect looking reasons.

Observing choas, one of the biggest hallmarks is its extreme stability. These systems always evade explanation and predictability at the smallest scales and build wild persistent structure at the largest. Chemical reactions are messy, but this one has been going for 4 billion years. We struggle to explain how even as high a scale as atoms can create the entire planet we see, let alone quantum fields, but understanding what it looks like just needed a few good thoughts about evolution. Life is the pinnacle of choas.
