#2 Infinitely Extensible

Kolkata - 27th July 2021

Whatever we use around us, become living when we touch it.

Let me explain.

Cut my hand, and throw it away, it will rot. That means as a separate entity, the hand is not alive. However, it was a part of something that was alive at some point: that's me. It was alive, when it was a part of me.

All our limbs and senses can be imagined as biological tools, we can also mount technological tools to our lives. That's what phones are... the internet, cars, planes, rockets, ovens!

Everything we use, become alive when we use it, because whatever we use joins the part of the design that makes us alive.

Our relationships with things and people keep us alive.

We are infinitely extensible!
