[&hellip;] I am glad not to be a Greenland shark; I don’t have enough thoughts to fill five hundred years. But I find the very idea of them hopeful. They will see us pass through our current spinning apocalypse, and the crash that will come after it, and they will see the currently unimagined things that will come after that: the transformations, revelations, the possible liberations. That is their beauty, and it’s breathtaking: they go on. These slow, odorous, half-blind creatures are perhaps the closest thing to eternal this planet has to offer.</p> </blockquote> <p>— Katherine Rundell in <a href="https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n09/katherine-rundell/consider-the-greenland-shark?utm_source=things&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=things-week-14-2026">Consider the Greenland Shark</a></p>
