I’m watching Michael Pollan on TED.
The Omnivore’s Next Dilemma — "What if human consciousness isn’t the end-all and be-all of Darwinism?
What if we are all just pawns in corn’s clever strategy game, the
ultimate prize of which is world domination? Michael Pollan asks us to see things from a plant’s-eye view
– to consider the possibility that nature isn’t opposed to culture,
that biochemistry rivals intellect as a survival tool. By merely
shifting our perspective, he argues, we can heal the Earth. Who’s the
more sophisticated species now? (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 17:31.)"
Very fluffy.
