Living through the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Sixth Extinction, in the midst of the Anthropocene, confronted with climate change and a revolution in machine learning, where do we start to make sense of the world? These changing conditions point to a future that can no longer be seen as a blank canvas, waiting to be colored by human agents. Other, non-human 'painters' shape our future as well, and now it’s up to us to acknowledge those non-human actors. In light of these complexities, the insufficiency of a human-centered worldview is becoming more and more apparent.
