Enjoyed the depth. Language certainly comes embedded with models of seeing our relationship to the world and each other. Subject-verb-object makes that causality clear, but it also mostly presumes it is direct and linear ... not indirect and via systemic displacement.

This was a good recent read on how even how we define intelligence is a prisoner to these structures: https://reallifemag.com/entangled-intelligence/ (RIP Real Life Mag, btw)

Hi Swag, thanks for this and sorry for the slow reply; only just seen this. That was a great article, thanks. And it's a shame Real Life Mag has folded. Btw, if you're keen to discuss NWSH ideas you might enjoy the Slack forum: https://join.slack.com/t/newworldsamehumans/shared_invite/zt-mrkvtt2p-u2jjLGMp5ksN7sGI6~OcYg
