19 - Reflections on Human Exceptionalism
from the anthrotographer Hosted by the ant
I’ve been thinking a lot about Human exceptionalism. I wanted to speak with my friend Rachel about these certain topics, not only because I knew we’re like minded on these sorts of things, but because she always has insightful things to say. So we met up at the beach to talk. I hope you enjoy the sounds of nature and this glimpse into our philosophical conversation.
