And it taught them how to be, in a sense, the... that's just the caretakers you know but the progenitors of life in that place that is to create more life and so if you look backwards and you look at the the record that we have that we're putting together anthropologically and biologically of people who lived before the settlers before the colonists before

They were, in a sense, discovered and then rapidly, in many cases, not terminated, but exploited. You find people who have extraordinary way of seeing the planet. They could hear plants. We thought, oh, yeah, right. We are mocking them. They actually can hear plants. They can communicate in such a way. They see a world differently.

Well, they've been there for thousands of years, had lots of time to learn how to do that. We've been here, I say the settler colonists have been here a relatively short time. Now, I don't mean to exempt China, India, and cultures to go back four or 5,000 years. Those are different than the settler colonist cultures that I'm referring to who came in from Europe to the Americas.

But I think what I'm trying to get at is like, There's so much wisdom around this. There's so much knowledge. The future is not in intelligence. The future is in knowledge. And we're all kind of an AI. It doesn't matter whether it's artificial intelligence or not. The future is in knowledge, and knowledge is gained in a completely different way than intelligence.

I think on the West, we have to look to the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution that came out of Europe. And it was extraordinary, is extraordinary to this day, But it depended upon naming and making distinctions as opposed to seeing inseparability, because that was already present for people.

They didn't understand it necessarily in Europe, but they... So, I mean, Descartes and so many of the discoveries that emerged from Western science in Europe, basically it was about separation. It was about making distinctions. You name something, if it's a that, then it can't be a this. So you have to make distinctions. And we continue to do that to this day. But that atomizes the world.

It makes it into pieces and parts. And then you think, well, what am I going to do with that? How am I going to exploit that? Can I do this? Can I do this? Whatever, and so forth. That was the birth of the type of medicine that's being practiced to this day in the West. And it has some good sides, it has some very destructive sides, you know.
