I liked the way they presented this very subtle subject. I try to remember this as much as possible, and act in ways that will promote a future without so much hate.
The smallest event can change the future in a big way, "The Butterfly Effect"

I am almost certain you will appreciate the following monograph excerpt from Chris King's monograph below:
"The Symbiotic Cosmology of Perennial Conscious Existence" otherwise known as Symbiotic Existential Cosmology
"The inclusion of agency realises the close parallel between panpsychism and animism , which is based centrally on 29 agency as a manifesta1on of the widespread perspective held by ethnic cultures and in shamanism, of agency being a feature of all living and perhaps even non-living entities. Animism is the belief that all things – animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems etc. possess a distinct spiritual essence – as animated and alive. It thus aligns closely with panpsychism and is said to describe the most common, foundational thread of indigenous peoples' "spiritual" or "supernatural" perspectives, especially before organised religion. The Dictionary of the Social Sciences (Gould and Kolb 1965) sums it up as "the belief in the existence of a separable “soul-entity”, complementary to the physical and biological “embodiment” of a living individual or material organism.”
Several of these natural entities take the form of edge-of-chaos processes, such as wind, waterfalls and storms from turbulent mountain summits to the ocean, which from the point of view of symbiotic panpsychism are strong candidates for coherent subjectivity. " --Chris King Maths Professor Auckland University, Retired.
Chris and I met on a debate regarding the two trees of the Garden of Eden and have since become friends. He has dozens of papers you may be interested in. You will find my name at the bottom of page 4 of the Symbiotic Cosmology of Perennial Conscious Existence monograph. LOL This monograph was recently updated to 217 pages. You might just want to hit the highlights that interest you, LOL
Please let me now what you think.
