8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

Hard to frame right now. It's too expansive as I'm still in gathering phase, so all the parts are in a mess and I haven't managed to stand back and see how they connect clearly yet. But it has to do with connecting the following themes: 1- Diversity (particularly diversity of thought), 2- Learning from nature (particularly the patterns of nature and how life emerges and parts of a system connect, interact and cooperate, and 3- Embracing uncertainty (seeking clarity over certainty, harnessing the humility that comes from questioning and doubting to better navigate complexity).
