👉 James Bridle's latest book, "Ways of Being," challenges our perceptions of intelligence and technology. In a world dominated by systemic disruption, Bridle emerges as the disrupter among disrupters, offering a critical perspective on where big tech has truly led us.
Looking for Intelligence outside the Box!
🌍 The journey begins in Epirus, Greece, a pristine landscape now under the influence of a massive energy company and sophisticated artificial intelligence. Bridle paints a picture of impending ecological and structural collapse, urging us to reevaluate our relationship with technology. "Ways of Being" explores a new narrative, encouraging us to abandon Western ideas about intelligence and embrace diverse forms of it.
🌱 Bridle takes us on a captivating journey through the "more-than-human" world, unveiling the incredible intelligence found outside our traditional understanding. From cress plants responding to caterpillar sounds to goats predicting eruptions on Mount Etna, Bridle showcases a world of possibilities beyond our comprehension.
💡 The book challenges the values of Enlightenment Culture, advocating for a reimagining of our relationship with the planet and its inhabitants. Like John Berger's "Ways of Seeing," Bridle's work prompts us to question assumptions, opening our minds to the potential of intelligence in unconventional forms.
🔍 While some arguments may seem familiar or overly critical, Bridle's urgency and conviction remind us that change is imperative. In a world heading towards catastrophe, "Ways of Being" calls for a shift not just in policies and technologies but in our fundamental ideas. Ignoring Bridle's insights could be akin to disregarding warning signs—catastrophe is imminent, and we must find new ways to look and listen.
📖 Dive into this thought-provoking exploration of intelligence, technology, and our collective future.
