@corlin I have a hard time wrapping my head around it.
@DachshundSaidSo
The only thing that comes close to describing this whole thing....
Is “Hyperobject”..

If you ever get the chance, please read anything by Timothy Morton.
Any of the first 6 books in this list.
These are not simple, nor easy reads. This is tough to think about, and tougher to explain.

@corlin @DachshundSaidSo Thanks for the reco. Clicked it & added to my Goodreads. It's nice that these tools make it so easy to remember your reading list.
@corlin WOW! He mentioned the phrase "wrap my head around", metaphysics, Hume, Kant, Bjork, and ecology in one page. I'm floored. Where was I, that I missed Morton's writing? He is so on target and compassionate.
Thank you. This is awesome.
@DachshundSaidSo
His older work is hard to read, as it is coming from an academic perspective.
But the 3 or 4 newest books are a must read.
He has a blog also.
@corlin @DachshundSaidSo Wow. Thanks for this.
