The moment in which we live proposes a staggering new challenge to past, present, and future understanding of our existence: climate change in general, and the Anthropocene in particular, requires a recalibration of all temporal relationships. In this article, I propose to identify the agent of change with current forms of complicity, or, as I call it in the title to this piece, the Homo complexus. A focus on complicity, I will argue, suggests that any future analysis of our society will recognize a short-term investment in a threat hovering above different forms of existence, or a new “sense of an ending.”

复杂的人：共谋的“历史未来”

我们生活的那一刻对我们过去、现在和未来对我们存在的理解提出了一个惊人的新挑战：一般的气候变化，特别是人类世，需要重新校准所有时间关系。在这篇文章中，我建议用当前的共谋形式来确定变革的推动者，或者，正如我在这篇文章的标题中所说的，Homo complexus。我认为，对共谋的关注表明，未来对我们社会的任何分析都将认识到对徘徊在不同存在形式之上的威胁或新的“终结感”的短期投资。
