What does ecological interdependence really mean? Timothy Morton, author of The Ecological Thought (forthcoming) and Ecology without Nature, explores the philosophical ramifications of interconnectedness.
Hi. My language may not conform to academy ideals. You are egotistical. You go to Australia and say that you have discovered it. Ego connects to your agenda which connects to how you construct and define which connects to your desire to control, which relates to your privilege, which relates to your fear of losing that privilege, which relates to your recognition of your own vulnerability. Do not be afraid. We subject to a process of decay. We are one. Wake up and remember. Like Wordsworth.
One large glitch in an otherwise coherent presentation:
I can readily believe a virus is alive without believing that a computer virus is alive. That is because the former is an organism/machine made of RNA while the latter is a metaphor for certain processes in computer RAM, that is, purely symbolic. I rather doubt you want to elide these two domains, or else all metaphors (a relationship in language) would partake of the real in exactly the same manner as a table (for example) does.

good stuff, but why dont you just use more complex systems terms-distribution, embodiment, emergence, etc? seems like it would make things easier
