About

人类对自然资源总是贪婪无度,而在当下的关系中,自然更像是为人类服务。人类不断向自然索要木材、水或蘑菇等可食用的资源。但这些资源是有限的,如果被人类消耗,它们又如何生存下去?受福柯生命政治理论的启发,作为自然与历史存在的统一体,人口并不服从统治者的个人意志,而是服从一系列相互作用的自然变量。这启发我将人类与自然之间的自然资源相互作用作为研究对象,将自然这样一个无意志的躯体变成统治者。

于是我着手将人类与自然的服务关系,转换为人类索取自然资源,让自然为人类服务的关系。如果人类服务自然资源,地球就成为最大的雇主。这种新的雇佣关系,能否让人类在自然界找到新的生态位,实现生态平衡?在我们的现实中,菌丝体在地下传播孢子,形成蘑菇,菌丝体是连接自然界的庞大的地下自然网络。这启发我成立了蘑菇端公司,一家人类就像菌丝网络一样的公司,从保护孢子开始,到传递信息培育蘑菇,岗位分为孢子、菌丝体和蘑菇。在目前人类的研究中,蘑菇会影响降水,进而影响生态系统,所以我选择让人类保护蘑菇,用新的方式种植越来越多的蘑菇,实现生态系统的平衡。
