| 7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life? | I will not state any fields of learning as I see that all the fields are looking at the same thing from different angles. Werner Erhard, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Bernhard Shaw, Masanobu Fukuoka, Nelson Mandela, Søren Kierkegaard, Lao Tzu, Buckminster Fuller, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Bill Reed |
| 8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | I believe in life being 'god'. I believe that life just is. I believe that life is inherently empty and meaningless. And it's empty and meaningless that it's empty and meaningless. That we as human beings experience the world through the lens of language and that we with language can create the meaning of our life. To me, the role of human beings is to have gratitude to the beauty and reciprocity that life is. To quote Robin Wall Kimmerer: "My breath is your breath and your breath is my breath". Standing in gratitude and love, we can assume our role as partners of life with other life. |
