Darcia, you've summed up so many of the causes of the current alienation of adults from babies, even their own. It's time the paradigm of reality shifts from mechanistic materialism to life-affirming quantum connection with all life we share this amazing planet with. Thanks!

It is amazing how powerful a concept can be, even the single word Darcia uses here, mechanomorphism, as opposed to anthropomorphism. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M…

This will help me better understand Nick Haslam’s mechanistic dehumanization, which along with Ann Cudd’s Theorizing Oppression and various theories of how exploitation takes places across modeds of production, are the roots of my theorizing of human injustice (wrongfully unmet human needs). Darcia is correct in seeing the totalizing impact of this across social systems; thus my concept of totalitarian theocratic/ideological patriarchal power brokers. (See: michaelalandover.substa….)

As Darcia says, look around. They are everywhere, and their quest is to control women, first and foremost.

Oh, I am eager to find out about the June launch for the Ambassador program. I wonder what that is about. 🤓😀

Love the descriptions of left vs right brain functions in accordance to the external and internal worlds. Question- what happens when you have little to no eyesight in your left eye and you are severely right eye dominant? I assume this must heavily affect the use of each side of the brain. Would it cause you to be more left brained?

There are always exceptions to the general features I described. The brain adjusts to damage. It will depend on when eyesight was lost. In babyhood, it would not matter too much. In elderhood it would. But how it would matter is hard to say. Every brain is different and the right and left forms of consciousness are more distributed in well developed brains.
