@CommonMugwort Fascinating article! I am curious to see how this develops in brain research. #Animism is not tied to #mushrooms, but it is fascinating to see that ancient cultures had their own rituals to focus on different experiences.
I remember well Christian Rätsch, a German ethnologue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_R%C3%A4tsch In his encyclopedia he wrote also about European #psychoactive plants and fungi.

BTW, here you can find the author Colin Domnauer https://dentingerlab.org/people/

"Colors of the Wind" is a song written by composer #AlanMenken and lyricist #StephenSchwartz for #WaltDisneyPictures' 33rd animated feature film #Pocahontas (1995). The film's #themeSong, "Colors of the Wind", was originally recorded by American singer and actress #JudyKuhn in her role as the singing voice of Pocahontas. A #pop #ballad, the song's lyrics are about #animism and respecting nature, finding its roots in indigenous Native American culture.

This is what I do love on #Mastodon so much. It all began with #cleaning, I thought about #dust and was fascinated that #dust bunnies are animals like German Wollmäuse: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/115589214893915365

Suddenly, I could learn the word for these fluffy friendly creatures in different languages and a whole universe of #animism and #folklore opened. These little people are magic! Just look into these comments!

As a subjectivist, idealist, animist, and social constructionist I look at technological change and see it reflecting my views. Whether it's virtual reality as a constructed reality, augmented reality including via brain-machine interfaces, AI, etc. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #subjectivism #idealism #animism #socialconstructionism #socialconstruct #technology #VR #AR #AI

I'm thinking more about the concrete causal relationship between environment-body interactions and the rest of the mind. I can press my hand against my arm and a tactile sensation results from that or at least is repeatedly correlated with it. #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #idealism #animism #mind #body

But yeah, I want to expand community to include the rest of nature or our ecosystems. We socially interact not just with humans but non-humans. We form a larger community with non-humans mattering as community members too and having rights. And we need to remember that we are part of the ecosystem and not separate from it and that to ensure our own survival we must ensure the survival of the ecosystems we're a part of. #communism #socialism #anarchism #universalism #absolutism #relativism #philosophy #metaphysics #ontology #anthropology #ethnocentrism #culturalrelativism #culture #multiculturalism #imperialism #antiimperialism #colonialism #anticolonialism #indigenous #animism #personhood #environmentalism #ecology

But yeah, if minds arise from the experienced interactions between an environment and body then electrons, microbes, trees, lakes, mountains, etc. have minds. #philosophy #religion #metaphysics #ontology #animism

Why is #Animism still relevant in the Anthropological lexington?

I was under the impression its an outdated term with problematic connotations.
