The truth is, despite its widespread moniker, Gaia is not really a hypothesis. It’s a perspective Yes it is. However, the article does not explain, at least to me, what it means to take that perspective 'seriously'. Everything that is described as something that can be seen from that perspective are also reported by people that would not describe themselves as looking from the Gaia perspective.
