KDO BO SLIŠAL DREVO PASTI, KO BODO VSI BOGOVI MRTVI

Verujemo v znanost, cenimo um. Nimamo časa za občudovanje dreves ali umetnin. Tisto malo, ko se jima utegnemo posvetiti, ju skušamo reševati – ali razložiti ali osmisliti.

Le kdo še utegne neproduktivno sanjariti.
Razmišljamo pragmatično.
Nimamo časa za spiritualne puhlice.

24/7, ves čas hitimo. Zasloni, samopromocija, ekonomska rast. V naglici zamenjujemo spiritualnost s skomercializiranimi joga tečaji, v ročno preliti filter kavi in pletenju iščemo duhovno transcendentnost.

Božanstva bledijo. Duhovi svetlolasih supermenov se prebujajo.

Ni potrebno slišati, če pade drevo. Pomembna je samopromocija. Pomembno je všečkanje. Realnost ni realna, če ni modificirana skozi zaslone. Zasloni rasejo na drevesih. Drevesa so pomembna!

Družabna srečanja so pomembna. Nudijo možnost analognega mreženja. Mreženje je pomembno. Mikorizne povezave med drevesi so pomembne. Dobro vzpostavljena mreža oskrbuje ego z energijo, dviguje samopodobo, vzdržuje individualizem. Micelij, ta prvobitna energija, nas poživlja in vzpodbuja rast. Dokler obstaja omrežje, obstaja življenje.

Komu mar, kdo bo slišal drevo pasti? Filozofija je stvar preteklosti ali norcev brez družbenih omrežij.

WHO WILL HEAR A TREE FALL WHEN ALL THE GODS ARE DEAD

We believe in science, we cherish reason. We have no time to look at trees, or at art. Our fleeting moments we devote to saving them, or understanding their secrets.

Who can afford idle reverie?
We think pragmatically.
We have no time for spiritualfluff.

Deities fade while the ghosts of blond supermen stir.

24/7, we are constantly busy—consumed by screens, self-promotion, and economic growth.
Hurriedly, we mistake commercialized yoga for spirituality, trading hand-poured coffee and scarf knitting for true transcendence.

Hearing a tree fall is unimportant; projecting a well-crafted image is key. Likes matter, and reality feels fake without a digital filter.

The screens grow on trees. Trees are important!

Social gatherings are important, offering old-fashioned analogue networking.

Mycorrhizal networks are important, connecting individual plants together to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon and other stuff of life.

Whether online or in the flesh, nature or city, networks sustain the egos and self-esteem, nourishing forests of individualism.

Who cares if anyone hears a tree fall? Philosophy’s an antiquity, the domain of loners and outcasts unplugged from social media.
Mycelium, that web of life, keeps us connected, enlivened, and growing.As long as there is a www, there is life.
