Reading A World of Many Worlds gave me A lot of new social awareness. Most of all, I am aware of the social, technological and ecological interests and conflicts, and how we should treat the "non-human" unique cultural heritage. It is a subject of diverse universes, and with backgrounds in anthropology, geography, and archaeology, Blaser and de la Cadena develop new knowledge of inclusiveness, stratification, nuance, and modernity for our time. They remind us that there is no "world of one world," and that as colonizers are colonized simultaneously, we must all find our way to new concepts and solutions. The development of science and technology has destroyed the ecological environment. Countries are accelerating the exploitation of the natural environment to satisfy their economic development. We see accelerated climate warming, ozone depletion, and more extreme weather, which are artificial consequences because of the big difference between our way of life and the locals. This is what the editors Marisol de la Cadena and Mario Blaser wrote in the book.
This is a diversified world, but this world is indeed built in the hands of capitalists.
The food chain is a good analogy. The strong is king. What is mentioned in the book A World of Many Worlds is a metaphor that today's humans should have realized that the destruction of ecology has affected the survival of races. In "The Anthropology of Spider Webs: Ecology, Infrastructure, Entanglement," Alberto Corsein Jimenez uses spider webs as a metaphor for our current state of the world, describing elegance, beauty, tension, fragility, violence, and disaster of spider webs. The most important thing is that the spider web not only serves as a trap or a symbol of traps but also as an "environment", providing a kind of energy symbiosis recursion described by Jimenez, representing what he defines as "double environmentalism. Dual environmentalism implies other meanings and worlds, especially the continuing themes and narratives and perspectives of reality and other things.
I still need to savour many of the ideas in the book slowly. Many vague and abstract concepts belong to the future, but they also belong to the present. We are the creators and destroyers of this world. In the chapter, Alberto CorsÃn Jiménez proposed a way of thinking about "modern."
Knowledge is essentially a trap of its own, and it is the conclusion we draw by grasping the thing itself to explore. It has certain limitations. Because we have given many things the established mode of operation, people will respect this collective effect because this is already a fixed mode of thinking that constitutes our thinking. If, one day after we wake up, we find that the pronunciation of the letter a is no longer a, and the way of walking will no longer use our legs, then have we entered a new civilization? But the development of society requires thousands of years of history, so we should cherish the current resources and environment and protect our homeland together.
