Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are.

Vergeet het oude concept van hard werken tot aan je pensioen en stel je spannende levensplannen niet uit. Vraag Timothy Ferriss wat hij aan het doen is, en de kans is groot dat je als antwoord krijgt: 'skiën in de Andes', 'duiken in Panama' of 'tangodansen in Buenos Aires'. Ferriss heeft namelijk het achterhaalde idee van 'eerst werken, dan leven' ingeruild voor een rijk leven in het hier en nu. Niet geld stelt je daartoe in staat, maar de nieuwe economische factoren tijd en mobiliteit. Wacht niet langer, zeker niet in tijden van economische onzekerheid. En vergeet het achterhaalde idee van werken tot je pensioen.

Yet gradually the Septuagint lost its place at the heart of Western Christianity.

In an eye-opening tour of the unconscious, as contemporary psychological science has redefined it, Timothy D. Wilson introduces us to a hidden mental world of judgments, feelings, and motives that introspection may never show us. This is not your psychoanalyst's unconscious. The adaptive unconscious that empirical psychology has revealed, and that Wilson describes, is much more than a repository of primative drives and conflict-ridden memories.
