Under current climatic conditions, natural systems, resenting global warming - from intense heat and, consequently, unprecedented droughts, global meteorological symptoms out of sync with the expectations of the time of year - go into decline, and the most vulnerable humans suffer in multiple ways, including an alteration of brain functions, which provoke unpredictable and somewhat aggressive actions, similar to those that occur in psychotic episodes, which will soon generalise to the entire population. In this scenario, the cactus - native of desert geographies - is seen as an example of what survives and adapts to contexts made hostile, under high temperatures and water scarcity, without apparent change.
