[iDC] animism and such

[Kazys Varnelis]

I always hope to make longer posts and never do, so let's put an end  
to that idea quick.

Indeed, this is something we've been covering with AUDC in our  
upcoming book and, to some extent in the wiki section of our site,  
audc.org/projects.

The last chapter of Elaine Scarry's the Body in Pain is a great  
source on contemporary animism (you stubbed your toe on the garbage  
can so you threw it across the room. REVENGE! etc.).
