Gaia
fictional · 2 mentions across 2 readings
In this course
Gaia appears in these readings primarily as a symbolic figure representing planetary interconnection and holistic systems thinking, invoked through John Lamb Lash's neo-Gnostic reinterpretations of the Mandela Effect and mythology. The concept enables discussions of how globalist ethics and systems-level awareness challenge individualist moral frameworks, positioning the earth itself as an agent or consciousness worthy of ethical consideration. This reflects the seminar's broader interest in how metaphysical and cybernetic systems thinking intersect with contemporary culture and AI discourse.
