Um mundo iluminado / The Re-Enchantment of Humanity

Em busca de uma 'fusão' perfeita.

"The biosphere is building its own ways of becoming. And so is the economy. The biosphere is building its own future possibilities. With no selection."

"How much magic do you need for re-enchantment? It's not a Newtonian world at all."

"We live in a network of enablement and opportunity that we don't even recognize. Enablement doesn't mean it's going to be good or bad. Good or bad can happen. That doesn't mean it's not magic. It's up to us to make things work well."

"There is no law that entails the becoming of the biosphere. There is no law that entails the evolution of economy."

"We are beyond the framework of Newton and Einstein and Schrödinger, who said: 'Write down the laws, the initial and boundary conditions. Write the laws in differential forms, now please integrate.' Which is deduction, which is entailment. We can't do it for the biosphere. That means we're beyond the hegemony of Newton, who has dominated our thinking for 350 years. We're even beyond Darwin, because brilliant as Darwin was, he didn't see the radical emergence of the fact that the biosphere is building the possibilities of its evolution with no selection. It's building its own possibilities for becoming. Darwin didn't think of that. I did. Having tea with my wife in Santa Fé."

"I think this is the beginning of being possibly re-enchanted."

"There is a sharp distinction between knowing, being and doing."

"To live the well discovered life. Where what you discover in your life and we live it. You discover new pathways that open before you. New pathways, new possibilities open before us all the time. That is what our life is. I think this is the beginning of a new vision of who we are and how we are, to be put together with an understanding of our evolved social primate humanity."
