Transversal thinking

Alain Bombard's experiment. "The experiment involved two glass bowls, one filled with polluted water from the port of Marseilles or somewhere similar, in which a clearly very healthy octopus was swimming around –virtually dancing –and the other filled with pure, unpolluted water. Bombard caught the octopus and transferred it to the ‘normal’ water; within a few seconds, it curled up, sank to the bottom, and died. More than ever today, nature has become inseparable from culture; and if we are to understand the interactions between ecosystems, the mechanosphere, and the social and individual universes of reference, we to learn to think transversaly."
