Baptiste Morizot

If we can speak today of a cultural deficit with regard to the living world, it is not due to a lack of scientific knowledge about forests or soil fauna. Rather, it has to do with the fact that we have inherited a dominant culture in which other forms of life and our relationships with them are not considered important, serious or central. These other ways of being alive do not occupy the field of our collective attention for the world to be made. The problem is our interest in other forms of life and the interdependencies that link us to them. It's our "concernement". 

How did we invent a culture that is so oblivious to our kinship, our community, and what makes the world habitable? How did we get here, and how can we imagine getting out?
