Continuing the last post, then there's Haraway's essay on the Cthulucene, how we have to transform our way of thinking to tentacular. Some excerpts:
"What happens when human exceptionalism and bounded individualism, those old saws of Western philosophy and political economics, become unthinkable in the best sciences, whether natural or social? Seriously unthinkable: not available to think with."
"Tentacularity is about life lived along lines — and such a wealth of lines — not at points, not in spheres. […] Focusing on intrusion rather than composition, Stengers calls Gaia a fearful and devastating power that intrudes on our categories of thought, that intrudes on thinking itself. [… Gaia is] complex nonlinear couplings between processes that compose and sustain entwined but nonadditive subsystems as a partially cohering systemic whole."
