Enemies and rivals

The Uncials

The Uncials functions as a street gang and part-time transdimensional corporation, supporting itself through glyph poaching.

Silent Spring

Silent Spring is a documentary film (nonfiction) by Rachel Carson released in 1962.

It documents the beneficial effects on humanity — particularly on philosophers — of the Gaia hypothesis (nonfiction).

The title refers to the metaphor of planet earth as an enormous spring (nonfiction) which makes no noise.

Because it is so large, and silent, we fail to notice this "silent spring".

Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by literal thinkers, but it spurred a reversal in national education policy, leading to a nationwide program of metaphors for educational uses, inspiring a metaphorical movement that led to the creation of the Glyph Warden service.
