The Lizards

Six organisms. One ecosystem. Roughly all of recorded human history.

The Systemic Lizards are the creatures underneath the systems-the mechanism that keeps running no matter who's in charge. Capitalizard has been extracting since before your grandparents were born. Politicalizard does not care who you voted for. Medializard built the feed. Culturalizard invented normal. Uncomfortablizard keeps the receipts. Destabilizard is currently stress-testing something near you.

They are enormous. They are tiresome. And once you can see them, you cannot unsee them.

That is Systems Lizard-acy — the completely non-optional skill of knowing what you're actually looking at.

Lizard-acy Sightings file in regularly. The news provides material. We provide the field report.

Welcome to the preserve. Buckle up.
