🧿 The difference between 'space' and 'place'.
🧿 Places as beings: how they have agency and destinies.
🧿 How sacred time works very differently to the premise of linear time.
🧿 Why Lake Mungo is so important to world history, and what she might do next. This is the first in a video series covering the key metaphysical aspects of animism.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
