if you want a clean shirt out of the washing machine, you don’t add in a diaper with poo on it and then look for a really good laundry detergent to “wash it out”.
I want to claim that a Friendly initial dynamic should be more analogous to a biosphere-with-a-textile-industry-in-it machine than to a washing machine. How do we get clean shirts at all, in a world with dirty diapers?
But then, it’s a strained analogy; it’s not like we’ve ever had a problem of garments claiming control over the biosphere and over other garments’ cleanliness before.
