“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Good one from TIm. A primer on link of ecology without nature to OOO. And delivered at a cool enough pace too to be taken in with one play through.

Hello, thanks for a wonderful introduction to OOO. I was wondering, that with your current understanding of OOO, (eg the ability to think about ecology without nature- which is no easy task) does this have a direct effect on the way that you experience daily life?
