AnthropoceneManA planet, if we can keep it.
It is notable that Daniel Dennet had just passed…and #Earthday 2024 is upon us.
Among the tenets of Dennet’s work is the concept that we, as humans, are driven by deep evolutionary mechanisms that we share with all living beings…that our consciousness, though uniquely human, is driven by these basic neurological functions.
And yet, to save this planet from our own destruction, we must elevate our way of thinking to the survival of the species and not simply the survival of ourselves.
We have been given the most precious gift the universe can offer…and with that gift comes responsibility.
