Primal Intelligence

Intelligence, including, but not particularly indigenous to, human intelligence, begins with nutritional ecopolitical exchange systems, discerning what might be good to consume, and healthy to produce for and with future generations, and what might become a more toxic pest attracted to me as your next best meal. Humans enjoy speaking of our gastric-rooted economic issues and deposits as politically healthy cooperation or pig-headed competition between species nearly as much as we protest our innocence of buying, well, stealing, actually, Earth's healthy climate supporting multicultural feeding and fueling and reproducing and breathing and beating and surfing and dancing and singing and flying Elder species each and all knowing enough to eat while the sun shines not yet too bright for hungry thirsty but still struggling-healthy root gastro-intestinal chemistry-climatic nutrient networking ecosystems. If Kant had been a medical doctor or a better historian he might have concluded with an ecology of network phenomenology, We eat and drink, therefore we are, and eventually are no longer of and for a discontinuous remembering health/pathology identity. DNA remembered and thought and designed feeding root systems and leaves long before hungry mouths and decomposing butt-heads, each with an in-between ecopolitical system to consume and produce regenerate and degenerate love passionately and fade away, back into nutrition's pregenesis, integrating energy of and for love of co-succulence with healthy-beauty regenerating outcomes. Intelligence, sometimes including polypathic human nutritional intelligence begins with ecopolitical mindbodies living in and on, for and of, organic networking Earth.
