Rewilding Language (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens to human consciousness when the words used to describe the living world quietly disappear from our everyday speech? In this episode of Eidos , we hit the pause button on our high-speed, screen-mediated world to examine a quiet cultural crisis: the steep decline of ecological vocabulary and the resulting phenomenon of environmental generational amnesia . Beginning with the controversial decision by the Oxford Junior Dictionary to excise words like acorn , bluebell , and kingfisher in

We take a deep dive into groundbreaking research out of Stanford and Adobe Research titled "Computational Video Editing for Dialogue-Driven Scenes."
