    Totally non sequitur question:

    Does an apathy tree… grow, or exude apathy?

    … or is it too uninterested to grow at all in the first place?

      If left alone, it grows unimaginably large and towering, imposing, shading out smaller things that are useful for diversity and overall system integrity. The only option to prevent the overgrowth and strangulation of positive things is to constantly prune the apathy back before it gets too big. A truly sisyphean undertaking.

      I think of it like rain forest canopy trees.
