Well, if we are going to be part of nature again, maybe we should first try to understand her and not just wrap ourselves in our own narrative mythological cocoons.

Start with time, god and money;

We are mobile organisms, so our sentience coalesces as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate. Therefore our perception of time is as the point of the present moving past to future. Theoretical physics codifies it as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events come and go. Time is an effect, like temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

God; Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The light shining through the film, than the images on it.

More the egg, than the rooster.

Monotheism is a political construct. Remember democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures.

Money is a social contract, enabling mass societies, not a commodity to mine from them. The medium has become the message.

We are linear, goal oriented creatures, in a cyclical, circular, feedback generated reality.
