No one wished it so, but we are the first species to become a geophysical force, altering Earth's climate, a role previously reserved for tectonics, sun flares, and glacial cycles.

Mercury doesn't have plate tectonics.

Mars doesn't have plate tectonics like Earth does.

The theory of plate tectonics in geology explains the phenomenon of continental drift.

There are some things about which I am pondering: Is the potential threat of Artificial Intelligence to humanity just "geek anxiety" or is it real? Is chat with AI like an oracle with psychic influence? There is some "dice-rolling" in the way the AI makes sentences in whatever language. Will AGI or Artificial General Intelligence have psychic attributes, as do some humans? Will a "soul" exist in intelligent machines? I have recollections as a boy: I stirred powdered chocolate in a cup, and the moving powder on the water I imagined to be plate tectonics. I swooped my hand or paper plane in a lush tropical garden and over misty horizontal freezers, as I imagined my hand or paper plane to be a flitting spaceship over an alien planet.
