Talk:Timothy Morton

Pronouns
I noticed that Morton uses they/them pronouns on the Ecology without Nature blog. Should we update the article accordingly?-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)  13:46, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Styrofoam transcends localization?
In the intro section the article states:"Morton uses the term to explain objects so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend localization, such as climate change and styrofoam." This remains cryptic or even non-sensical without further elucidation or changing of the sentence itself. Is Morton referring to climate change as a linguistic object? A real physical object? A concept of real phenomena? How does the styrofoam fit in? (I'm sure styrofoam can be found everywhere around the globe and maybe even in outer space, nowadays, thereby in a way 'transcending localization'...) Or is it that Morton regards climate change AND styrofoam as a single hyperobject emerging from interaction? Furthermore, how can the term 'explain' objects? This article was probably written by someone with a lot of passion for the topic and deep insights into the matter. This might bar one's view on what can be understood by others who are not as deeply involved. Korinthus (talk) 05:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
