      • Cyanobacteria mentioned for some reason. They are confusing prokaryotic/eukaryotic with sex, but I guess that is a detail. Apparently they got this from William Irwin Thompson, how one becomes two. Panspermia.
        • Quotes Bateson "pattern that connects"
        • four-fold interpretive framework: literal, formal, anthropological, cosmic
      • Fairy tales as alien life form that propagates itself through us (I like). Apparently Walter Benjamin had something to say about this.
      • Sarah Hrdy! They are writing something for Daedelus

      • Cristina Campos mentioned
      • John Mitchall, Confessions of a Radical Traditionalist
