About this lecture:
The dominant culture has pulled away from humanity’s millions-year-old adaptive heritages, impairing species-normal capacities and potential in a feedback loop of greater disconnection and destruction. Species-typical nature is fostered by deep nestedness—developmentally, horizontally—across time/space, and vertically—in Earth and cosmos. We must re-adopted nestedness to restore human and planetary wellbeing.
