🎓 Case Study
Ecuador's Rights of Nature
Constitutional recognition that ecosystems have inherent rights to exist and flourish. A real-world legal and political enactment of a consciousness-centric view. By granting ecosystems inherent rights to exist and flourish, it fundamentally challenges the Necrocene premise of nature as a dead resource. It demonstrates how a shift in foundational story changes governance
📚 Literature
"The Idea of the World" by Bernardo Kastrup (2019)
Offers a rigorous defense of idealism. Kastrup argues consciousness is fundamental, and the material world is its manifestation. This provides the scientific and philosophical foundation for a reality based on relationship, meaning, and intrinsic value, countering Dennett's perspective.
