"The line between the living and the non-living, and the human and the non-human, is not drawn horizontally, such that the living and the human stand above in a higher and more dignified position; nor is the line drawn externally, such that we can put the non-human and the non-living safely “out there.” Rather the point, as Morton emphasizes, is that the human/non-human, living/non-living relation is not a line or a division at all, but a symbiosis."
That symbiosis confronts us: not two at all.
Thank you. I'm going to pay closer attention to my experience of the uncanny.
Hi Jim, just wonder if you know of the work on NDEs by Prof. Sam Parnia and his team over the last few years. I've been following for years, latest interview at the Guardian re their results.
Sam constantly refers to new "dimensions of reality" being seen by people and that there could be an "undiscovered scientific entity" wrt the soul. Looking forward to your Diana Pasulka discussion, also I've been watching the UAP issue trying to assimilate as much as possible, Galileo project, NDAA legislation, Diana's discussions and the people she's met. So much there! I like your title for this piece, reminds me of "many voices inside the one" if that's your meaning or something like. Cheers.

Wonderful, as always.
I never knew why I was so upset by AI but had wondered if it was me grasping at permanence and being uncomfortable with uncertainty.
In the end I tend to come back to “… after enlightenment chop wood carry water” type of enchantment when I remember I’ll never figure it out.
Cheers from Australia.
