And yet my, not only my faith, but my experience has led me to believe that the world is not a construction of space and time and matter and energy. That that mapping is insufficient. That the world is instead some kind of a linguistic construct. It is more in the nature of a sentence, or a novel, or a work of art than it is in the nature of these machine models of interlocking law that we inherit out of a thousand years of rational reductionism.
Terence McKennaSince the very beginning of culture, what we seem to be are animals which take in raw material and excrete it imprinted with ideas.

Terence McKennaWe are like coral animals in a vast reef of excreted technological material that is wired for solid state data transfer.
