Having any kind of felt-sense, intersubjective languaging with other-than-human beings is labeled anthropomorphizing—falsely projecting human characteristics and consciousness onto what is claimed to be mechanical, inert, non-sentient, inanimate, non-responsive constituents of the Natural world. This disenchantment of world underlies modern exploitation and the non-reciprocation rule—to take more value than value given in exchange. This leads, among other things, to corporate-driven devastation of Nature and indigenous ways of life, the sado-dispassion [28] of scientific animal experimentation, and the disidentification of the super wealthy from the meanings of immersed, grass roots, social and community praxis.
