Wildness can be said to be the essential nature of nature. As reflected in consciousness, it can be seen as a kind of open awareness-- full of imagination but also the source of alert survival intelligence. The workings of the human mind at its very richest reflect this self-organizing wildness.

Ironically, I now live in a world where computers are the thoughtless arbiters of those very same value systems. They have come to speak our languages like idiots, replicating their stigmas and biases."
