Pink Monkey Farm: The Blog

From a grass’s point of view….

Michael Pollan offers a brief talk on TED that describes how different the world looks if one adopts a grasses point of view.  The move is akin to Dawkins’ famous adoption of the gene’s point of view.  The Pink Monkey Farm idea is similar.  Following the thesis presented at PworldRworld.com, we can see our physical bodies, together with their nervous systems, as a stratum which gives rise to us, but which is not constitutive of us, and which therefore needs to be cared for with an attitude not unlike that of a concerned farmer.  This basic philosophy seems to underpin  those major initiatives which strive to be avowedly apolitical, and yet to  further a basic humanitarian cause.   Health then becomes a basic index.
