“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

& it just occurred to me, Tim, that as concepts aren't static, their meaning changes, so some concepts perhaps have as their main purpose to MOVE PEOPLE OFF THE DIME. To take them away from their current concepts. 'Hyperobjects' seems to me, at present, such a concept. Who knows where it will land in conceptville, but right now it's MOVING PEOPLE.
