human exceptionalism
This concept is exampled in humans placing themselves at the top of the evolutionary tree, and in Genesis when God "created man in his own image"and gave him "dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth." Humans even measure other animals' intelligences against our own. This concept and its pursuant ideologies "limit one's relationships to the cosmos."
By communicating directly with rocks I hope to subvert this hierarchy, "build[ing] a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
