Morton 122: "[W]e need to allow heaps to exist. Vanilla logic doesn't allow for the possibility of heaps" and "we need to allow heaps to be radically different from their members"
123: "Humankind is a heap. If you care about ecology, you care about heaps, because lifeforms are heaps, and ecosystems are heaps [...] ecological action only takes place at the heap level. Destroying or 'saving' Earth is a matter of collectives"
the biosphere is "the heap of heaps"
belief in heaps requires "modal, paraconsistent and even dialetheic logics (that can say things are more or less true, or both true and false under some circumstances)" (123)
124: "More than combining, heaps can overlap. There is no top level, no one heap to rule them all, so we have lost the idea of a one-size-fits-all political or economic structure"
