The sailor lives a huntsman rhythm, interlocked to boat’s imperatives. Journeys last 24 hours. A landsman journey is eight, ten, twelve hours sometimes. May land wreck ongoing time: a thread’s cut, some mandatory photo sending… Indeed, land time endlessly recalls the need of saying. (Halvard Mabire, sailor, interview about the Vendée Globe, dans Le Monde, 14.11.2020)

Indigenous peoples have been pigeonholed by social scientists into one of two categories, “hunter-gatherer” or “agriculturist,” obscuring the ancient role of many indigenous peoples as wildland managers and limiting their use of and impacts on nature to the two extremes of human intervention. The image evoked by the term hunter-gatherer is of a wanderer or nomad, plucking berries and pinching greens and living a hand-to-mouth existence; agriculturist, at the other extreme, refers to one who completely transforms wildland environments, saves and sows seed, and clears engulfing vegeta- tion by means of fire and hand weeding. This dichotomous view of nature– human interactions has shut out the fact that Indian groups across Califor- nia practiced many diverse approaches to land use, and it has led to a focus on domestication as the only way humans can influence plants and animals and shape natural environments.

The body is here: this «here» is absolute, and references the self to itself, as a position. (Emanuel Levinas, Food, unreleased conferences at Collège Philosophique, Paris, 1950)

Necessity is not the need of existence but the need of nutrients. Biology shows the extension of nutrients through existence. Consciousness lies in getting rid of these extensions, still in a naive motion towards life feeding things, towards advantages (of nutrients). The care of existence is not the issue of necessity. (Emanuel Levinas, Food, unreleased conferences at Collège Philosophique, Paris, 1950)

Being human is about being pulled up from a dragging rhythm. ¡Stop the music! The self must be refered for a saying. Rather than skip the saying and start singing, humans are to be put in the ground. How this rhythmical rupture is conditioned in a human advantage is being brought by the fact that the advantage is being preceded by necessities; that the brought world is always a received world; that the I is not in its substance but sheltered, at a distance, from home. Home is the condition for this distance. (Emanuel Levinas, Food, unreleased conferences at Collège Philosophique, Paris, 1950)
