  1. Daniel Quinn challenges the story we've told about civilization: could the Agricultural Revolution be the root of our environmental crisis? Thought-provoking excerpt — big ideas for small actions. #DanielQuinn #environment #ecology #sustainability #history #Anthropology #AgriculturalRevolution #English

  2. Acknowledging the culture that has given us Trump, bipartisan genocides, Musk & ilk, climate change, rising illiteracy, enacted comfort over meaning, and rewarded gaming the ethical framework.

    It shouldn't surprise me, but it still does, that this culture has deformed imagination to the extent that so many are unable to imagine how their own actions might influence where we are headed.

  9. Manche Bücher sind ein Quantensprung für das eigene Weltverständnis.

    Heute wäre der grandiose Denker, Philosoph und Theologe Daniel Quinn 89 Jahre alt geworden.

    Sein Werk 'Ismael' - ein philosophisches Gespräch zwischen einem Menschen und einem Gorilla, zählt zu den Büchern, die für mein Verständnis von Mensch, Zivilisation und Verhältnis zum nicht-menschlichem Leben einen solchen Quantensprung bedeutet haben. Ich sehe sie Welt seither mit anderen Augen. Danke Daniel Quinn!

  11. What's everyone reading lately?! I just started The Story Of B by @danielquinn and I'm super enjoying it, despite reading the "series" out of order (which I usually consider blasphemy).

    What's got you bookwormin' lately?

  16. @MisuseCase @MonniauxD Thank you. Even though it is quite common knowledge what you write, still, this post has really triggered some insights in me. I think Daniel Quinn has done a brilliant job on revealing our anthropocentric thinking to us (as the civilized version of Homo sapiens). His works are such amazing mirror for us as a species. However, I think he's had a real blind spot when it comes to patriarchy in 'how things came to be this way', i.e. the ecological crisis we're facing, taking wrong conclusions regarding the 1) cause of and 2) the solution for overpopilation as a consequence. (I disagree with you that overpopulation is not an issue but would say that mainly rich countries are massively overpopulated, rich EU countries, the US). Here Quinn's analyses are clearly under-complex. He's missing a layer of power in his analysis: 1. humans over rest of the living world (Quinn), 2. men (the sex) over everything. But I have not yet read all of his works yet to be fair.

  17. @lolonurse @MisuseCase no we're not per se a greedy and stupid species. We've lived in harmony with all other living beings for the last 200'000 years (Homo sapiens). Then 10'000 years ago a mindshift appeared, the idea to be on top of where there is no top or bottom. Our whole cilture and civilization litterally is built on that paradigm. Even though I don't share Daniel Quinn's conclusions, I think his work is a brillant piece on #anthropocentricm and I absolutely recommend to read it (e.g. Ishmael).
