The article is more about the hoped-for value of mimicking survival mechanisms found in nature in order to endure climate change rather than explaining "Philosophy as a public service".
I actually think that once you're in the realm of implementation you're no longer in the realm of philosophy, which should, IMO, remain abstract. A book like "A Thousand Plateaus", "Being and Time", "The Critique of Pure Reason" are philosophical works of art but I wouldn't consider the pinecone clock a philosophical work of art but rather inspired, and clever, engineering.

- ukj 7y agoOnce you are in the realm of implementation Philosophical/theoretical idealism goes out the window. No story survives contact with reality, and that is all Philosophy gives us - stories. A.k.a theories. Risk management requires counter-factual reasoning.
