| Description | The project aims to make evolutionary ontology a part of environmental studies at schools. One of its starting points is the issue of artificial and natural information. The text addresses artificial and natural information in the context of a healthy inner life. Also discussed are the connections between artificial information, natural information and the crisis of perception that our society is experiencing today. A clear link is identified between overpowering amounts of artificial information and a crisis of perception. Inner life is filled unnecessarily by artificial information and could be reconstituted in a way more conducive to health if the artificial information accumulated could at least in part be cleared away. It is in his/her inner nature that a person's connection to the outside natural world dwells. Once this reconstitution is achieved, humanity might wish to create a different type of culture, which will differ from that of today and will be of a a biophile nature. |
