If we want to participate with Gaia in her grand adventure, then we mightneed to be able to communicate with the trees and the birds and the microbes

comment - our constant othering shows that we do not even appreciate the anthropocene - we have to gain insight into our habit of othering other humans first, and co-emerge a unified humanity, before we attempt the greater task of not othering all the other species - OR we can tackle our general sense of separation of both other humans and individuals of other species

Butno matter how the form may vary, the fact that an organism hasconscious experience at all means, basically, that there is somethingit is like to be that organism

comment - what is it like to be that other organism? - Earth Species Project is trying to shed some light on that using machine learning processes to decode the communication signals of non-human species - https://jonudell.info/h/facet/?max=100&expanded=true&user=stopresetgo&exactTagSearch=true&any=earth++species+project - https://hyp.is/go?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocdrop.org%2Fvideo%2FH9SvPs1cCds%2F&group=world
- In Ernest Becker's book, The Birth and Death of Meaning, Becker provides a summary of the ego from a Freudian perspective that is salient to Nagel's work
- The ego creates time and humans, occupying a symbolosphere are timebound creatures that create the sense of time to order sensations and perceptions
- The ego becomes the central reference point for the construct of time
- If the anthropocene is a problem
- and we wish to migrate towards an ecological civilization in which there is greater respect for other species,
- a symbiocene
- this means we need to empathize with other species
- If our species is timebound but the majority of other species are not,
- then we must bridge that large gap by somehow experiencing what it's like to be an X ( where X can be a bat or many other species)
