Considering other intelligences

 No I'm not speaking of alien life forms, but of those we live with...as I was introduced to this author by an interview in Emergence Magazine.

Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machine: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence

I was quite excited because he's a techy, and knows about AI (Artificial Intelligence). But when I started getting into the first chapter, I realized that his book, published in 2022, and probably written a year earlier, was quite dated. We've got CHAT and Google and other AI formats available for all of us, getting anything written or artistically formed that we ask for.

AI has outpaced James Bridle. But I will continue to read him.

Why?

Because I am a pagan who believes in the inherent life of everything around me, from rocks, to water, to the air I breathe to animals, plants, and planets. And they each have their own intelligence!

While reading the introduction, I photographed some paragraphs that stood out for me...

So I have more to read there. Will be enjoying thinking how Bridle must be reacting to the newer AI generated stretches of intelligence now available.

Today's quote:

We cannot do the work of transforming the world unless we are in interdependent relationships—the work is too vast and complex for any one of us. …Let’s reach toward each other.
