Antithetical Climates: Symbiotic living through toxicity

How can we think of living ecologies through toxicity? During our existence toxicity is perceived as an oppugnant ideology to anthropoid living. Thinking that there are no living or climate relationships beyond the natural are common societal ideals that have to be disputed for the sake of the afterlife of humanity.

What is toxic to humans is life giving to others. There is thriving life beyond the interaction and common knowledge of human activities by radioactive and toxic elements. So, how can we extend and push an antithetical living to create symbiotic relationships to thrive outside humans’ natural environments? The creation of devices that can potentially maintain toxic symbiotic interrelations fed by the byproduct of unnatural consumption. An antithetical environment opens a new spectrum of living beyond human existence.
