World Game:
"There seem to be phases when you and I automatically check in and say, ‘That’s a man.’ ‘I can see that’s a living organism.’ And another might say, ‘I can see that’s a crystal.’ But we’ve learned now there’s no threshold between these two. They used to be called animate and inanimate, and then we found that that is not true. . .
“Man is so specialized that he didn’t notify society that he had found no threshold between animate and inanimate. This is simply to say, then, that whatever we really are, whatever life is, there is no identity of any threshold between or within the physical. And I’m saying to you very powerfully that I’m confident that our communication, everything you and I do, is absolutely weightless. The only thing that counts between you and me is thinking. The difference between human and other physical organisms is always the metaphysical, the thought.”
