This is a conversation with my brilliant friend Martin Grantham about the relationship between Humans and the biosphere they live within, how we got here, where were going, how identity politics surrounding relationships with land miss the point, how a biocentric worldview could save us, and how it unfortunately might take catastrophe to get us there.

Highly recommend reading Robert Sapolsky's recent book 'Determined' where he discusses the existence and biology of 'free' will. Or his Human behavioral biology lectures on youtube are legendary and incredibly insightful. He dives into the biology and research about a lot of behaviours you two discussed. I liked this one, thanks!

The egipcians had the Pharaoh, men that assume was god, the Greece had 18 gods- all men and women, like Apollo, Zeus, Afrodite,Athena...Romans like the Greeks had antrophomorfic gods, i think the Romans copy the Greeks😅🤣 ...other religious that put Humans like gods, 3000 a.c. and 500 a.c...Now in XXI with all religions, with all the science we Humans still don t respect for each other...if we don t know what is Respect how can we understand the Value of your Planet

I cannot stand chimps and gorillas. They're too much like people.
