an inert organic

One of the crux points i often run across (all points can be a crux point, but i digress) is that inert objects don’t do things (breath, think, move, etc.). However, that’s not the case, rocks, planets, suns, galaxies, etc. are very malleable, moving and exchanging presences. What is often believed, beyond most other things, is that there is a doer independent of the doing. For example, there is a human doing things and rocks that do not. We simply avoid the case of these exchanges, in the case of rocks, because of the concept of self, a special quality not found in other more inert objects. Yet, not unlike selves, rocks are moved with no particular independence either. Rocks are formed and decay, they exchange material quite regularly and while they don’t regulate internal temperatures, neither do humans, not exclusively, nor do either exist exclusively of themselves. If you examine the human closely, there actually is a very slight (in the scheme of all things) differentiation, which is assuredly cyclically true of all stuff. As i mentioned in other posts, reality refuses to produce perfect duplicity.

While you could say that’s pedantic, or a straw man, you would mostly be just trying to avoid that almost ineffable sense that humans are somehow special, and persist outside the narrative in which we examine. It also important to note that humans (in complexity) are required to utilize this self-preserving quality, a dependency, that only affirms their complete connectedness to all “stuff out there”.

As i said, it’s vitally important for human to perceive their superiority, it’s not a requirement in the examination of reality. It is however a process of the nature progression of reality, as an entirety, which includes the creation of rocks and humans.
