key insight / summary - roots of anthropomorphism - Greek and Christian narratives - The Greeks defined the soul - The Genesis story established that we were the chosen species and all others are subservient to us - From that story, domination of nature becomes the social norm, leading all the way to the existential polycrisis / metacrisis we are now facing - This underscores the critical salience of Deep Humanity to the existential polycrisis - exploring the roots of language and how it changes our perceptions of reality - showing us how we construct our narratives at the most fundamental level, then buy into them

summary - Neuroscientist David Eagleman is best known for his sensory substitution experiments and the development of a consumer electronic watch-type device that can translate sounds into vibration. - His research work shows how much of our reality is constructed - His new device from his company, Neosensory has enabled deaf people to construct a richer reality with the new signals the device is conveying to the deaf user - It brings up deep philosophical questions of what is the world if we can continue sensing the world in new ways? - If we can expand our unwelt in so many ways, are we opening the door to transhumanism? And if so, would this create a new kind of inequality? There are many ethical questions this technology raises. - Sensory substitution technology can be excellent technology for Deep Humanity BEing journeys

Mortality salience for the masses - operationalizing terror management theory (TMT) and Deep Humanity BEing Journeys that take individuals to explore the depths of their humanity to make sense of the times we are in will play a critical role in contextualizing fear of death triggered by unstable circumstances and ameliorating these fears with the wisdom that comes from a living comprehension of the sacredness of our life and eventual death.

This would make an excellent Stop Reset Go (SRG) Deep Humanity (DH) BEing Journey

This stresses the importance of applying Deep Humanity wisely by finding the most compelling, salient and meaningful common human denominators appropriate for each conversational context. Which group are we interacting with? What are the major landmarks embedded in THEIR salience landscape?

The BEing journeys we craft will only be meaningful and impactful if they are appropriately matched to the cultural context.

The whole mind- body understanding of how we cognitively construct our reality, via Deep Humanity BEing journeys, can help shift our priorities.

This psychological constraint is worth demonstrating to individuals to illustrate how we construct our values and responses. These constraints can be demonstrated in a vivid way wiithin the context of Deep Humanity BEing journeys.
