SA: "Anthronaturmorphic" is something I made up, but
it fits well with my explanation. I see metaphysics
generated via human perspective and nature (by nature
I mean all else not human); and where the line is
drawn wouldn't make any sense. Thus, I see a way in
which life is lived, and reality is known/shaped that
is a swirl of human perspective and nature. Also,
there is no difference between human and nature and no
difference between nature and human; but what is kept
in mind, too, is this is from a human's perspective,
meaning, if human's would go extinct, then the
universe would still exist.

SA: True, but it depends on how you apply your art in
creating what your trying to say. For instance, a
question arises, how can I be inside reality, but not
reality?

SA: It depends on where our currently understanding
is, as well. Understanding light, Newton breaks down,
but understanding a black hole, Einstein breaks down.
So, we're still working on this.

SA: Yes, I completely I agree, and this is what I was
trying to get at. A good metaphysics can keep up with
the times, even if some of what is known and exists
has been around for thousands of years and we still,
as human beings, still worth in what lasts.
