Timothy Morton puts us on a path where the white western version of the world is gone. The smooth and blank stuff that can be changed as “we” please is no longer here. Massive entities like global warming are pushing us towards this realization as they are slowly changing our habitual pattern. Anthropocentrism is shaken from the ground because existence just is coexistence with other lifeforms.
Exploring ways to talk about ecological beings on a massive scale becomes a priority. Like, how to talk about a "we" as a collective that has a geological force, without falling into an explosive holism, or without essentializing things to some white western flavor, or without falling back into the same violent human exceptionalism, with its Nature/Culture duality? The video explores this question along with other concepts from Timothy Morton.
