What we call “the mind” is often just a small suburb of the body’s distributed intelligence. To unplug it from the body is like uprooting a plant from its soil. Yet that’s largely what we’re doing when we engage with the various virtual worlds the modern world offers us with social media, video games, porn etc.. And it’s a habit that modern society regularly installs in us in various other insidious ways. So much of our society’s journey back to sanity consists simply in making a journey back to living in our bodies.
