    • Cyanobacteria mentioned for some reason. They are confusing prokaryotic/eukaryotic with sex, but I guess that is a detail. Apparently they got this from William Irwin Thompson, how one becomes two. Panspermia.
      • Quotes Bateson "pattern that connects"
      • four-fold interpretive framework: literal, formal, anthropological, cosmic
    • Fairy tales as alien life form that propagates itself through us (I like). Apparently Walter Benjamin had something to say about this.
    • Sarah Hrdy! They are writing something for Daedelus
    • Kingship and the modern. Kings are archetypes, presidents are secondary (JFM). Have some political beefs here. Fairy-tale kingishness doesn't have anything to do with bloodlines, etc (not quite true but ok)
    • Cristina Campos mentioned
    • John Mitchall, Confessions of a Radical Traditionalist
