“Representational cognition is more dangerous than nuclear power, as should be obvious. But it isn’t obvious. In fact, we are not actively aware of this danger at all. We think that the ways we think work, even when they don’t, and that is part of how humans relate with knowledge, in general.

That nightmare back in Eden? What got transferred was representational ability, not knowledge — its -basis-. And that incredible force has been remaking our species and world in its image since then, and this is not a survivable image — thus, the eviction from Eden.

But it is possible to resolve this situation, if we will admit and notice the peculiar character of the problem. This is the challenge we must now face and surmount together, as rapidly, effectively, and universally as possible.”
