« Predatory Focus »

Subject-Object duality is a vestige of our predatory nature: a life-form eyes (sees) another life-form; zooms in, focuses, attends... to see if this other life-form is fit to eat; subject-object duality is born: "I" want "it."

To attend is to objectify. To objectify is to distill yourself into a stand-alone self out of the oneness of what surrounds you. Immersed in all that is at a baseline, we pop out of this anonymity of mindlessness as soon as we begin to track and hunt patterns.

As I said before, we are first and foremost informational hunter-gatherers.
