“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

I think Godlovitch's reading was confusing. It helped make it more clear when we discussed him in class but I still was a little unsure of what he was talking about. From what I understood, he says we should eliminate centrisms all together. Anthropocentrism is one example. Godlovitch rejects people like Carlson. He believes in acentric aesthetics. He mentions aesthetic aloofness and we should take out the I. We should view nature to where we dont matter. He talks about ice and how it can melt and go away. I think his point is that the ice is just as much a part of nature as anything else. Just because it could melt quickly and go away doesnt mean it is less significant than anything else.
