also other essential categories systematically referenced by Ernst G\u00f6tsch in his texts, lectures, courses, conferences, consultancies, and in his personal life. One of these categories would be &#8220;unconditional love&#8221; that joins the idea of &#8220;\u200b\u200bcooperation&#8221; as opposed to &#8220;competition&#8221;. For Ernst, there is no competition in nature. Except for us modern men and the animals we domesticated, all inter- and intraspecific relations occur, in his view, unilaterally moved by unconditional love and cooperation. Far beyond the common sense of motherly love, or love for other people (of the Judeo-Christian heritage), unconditional love expands in the realm of the Syntropic Agriculture for love between different species, love for abiotic systems and even love for biogeochemical cycles. For humans, who experience reflexive deliberation, Ernst G\u00f6tsch suggests &#8211; always associated with the principle of unconditional love and cooperation &#8211; the application of the categorical imperative of Kant, according to which one must act in such a way that his actions can be immediately elevated to universal laws &#8211; that is, an intentionalist ethical orientation is the ultimate guideline and measure of the attitudes of the syntropic farmer.<\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ff0486 elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9ff0486\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen title=\"vimeo Video Player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/88304873?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=1&amp;portrait=1&amp;byline=1#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73b4ceb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73b4ceb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-abaa17f\" data-id=\"abaa17f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c031e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c031e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>For Ernst, this guideline is valid for all the interactions he maintains as a farmer, that is, in his relation &#8220;to the soil, to the plants, to the animals, as well as to the water and nutrients cycle.&#8221; At first, this would be similar to biophilia (love for life and living systems), a concept proposed by the psychologist Erich Fromm in 1964. But it is divergent, however, especially from what was written in the 1980s by the biologist and theorist Edward Wilson in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1559631473\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=The+Biophilia+Hypothesis&amp;qid=1551340567&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Biophilia Hypothesis&#8221;<\/a>, according to which human beings would have a psychological tendency of filiation to everything that is alive, or a love innate by nature. In the latter case, love would be explained by a genetic inheritance that would connect us with other forms of life. It means we &#8216;d love not because these other lives would have value in themselves, but because an evolutionary connection that would justify and impel us to do so. The love that Ernst G\u00f6tsch refers to is much less anthropocentric, and the connection is more like an evidence than an explanation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b9a3ea elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b9a3ea\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c99b6ac\" data-id=\"c99b6ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3939d4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3939d4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"223\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/edward.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Edward Osborn Wilson<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d468f6\" data-id=\"9d468f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afd9a9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"afd9a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/biophilia-hypothesis-book-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/biophilia-hypothesis-book-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/biophilia-hypothesis-book-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af1d199 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af1d199\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb888a6\" data-id=\"bb888a6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c78e45f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c78e45f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The supposed semantic simplicity of the idea of \u200b\u200bunconditional love conceals a serious displacement of a fundamental category of modern Western culture: individualism. The individual or personal interest is entirely subjected to the view of the ecosystem functioning. Carrying the premise of syntropy &#8211; that is not entitled to negotiations or bargaining &#8211; love is guided by the realization of being part of the ecosystem&#8217;s strategy to increase energy, even if it means, at a certain stage of development, the suppression of an individual &#8211; be it a weed, a fruit-tree or an animal. <br \/>The unconditional love expressed in the inherent dynamics of an ecosystem means that species that have already &#8220;fulfilled their function gracefully subject themselves to be transformed by natural processes.&#8221; <br \/>From his writings and for being close to Ernst, it is not difficult to see that he does not give much concern to the explanation of unconditional love because of another axiom of his thinking: the understanding that we humans are only part of an intelligent macro-organism. &#8220;[We act and behave as if] we are &#8216;the intelligent species&#8217;. Or just, modestly, are we part of an intelligent system?&#8221;, he says.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-560278e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"560278e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-af9b2d2\" data-id=\"af9b2d2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c5e627 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c5e627\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>This line of thinking invariably refers to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gaia-Theory-Living-James-Lovelock\/dp\/1856752313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaia Theory<\/a>, proposed by the English chemist James Lovelock (1979). Lovelock was one of the first to assert in the early 1970s that life as a whole optimizes the environment for its own use. According to the Gaia Theory, aspects of atmospheric gases, rocks, and surface water would be regulated by the metabolism and transformation of living organisms. Thus, temperature, acidity, and salinity would also be mediated by the action of life, which would act in the homeostatic control of the planet as a whole.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9faec1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9faec1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"741\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia.jpg 741w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia-370x264.jpg 370w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia-270x192.jpg 270w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia-570x406.jpg 570w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/james_lovelock_Gaia-740x527.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">James Lovelock and his controversial book<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67ef54a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67ef54a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-806bb9d\" data-id=\"806bb9d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1ecc6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1ecc6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>However, the idea that Earth is a single organism &#8211; a shortcut usually visited by both allies and opponents of the Gaia Theory &#8211; is, in fact, an unfair reduction, according to Lynn Margulis (2001), Lovelock&#8217;s collaborator in Gaia Theory and responsible by the serial endosymbiotic theory &#8211; which implications range from the understanding of the planetary ecosystem to evolutionary processes. More accurate, she said, would be to say that &#8220;the Earth, in the biological sense, has a body maintained by complex physiological processes.&#8221; Margulis also tried to alert Lovelock to the deification risks that the use of the Gaia name &#8211; earth goddess in Greek mythology &#8211; could imply. If the suggestion was considered, it was not in time to prevent the incorporation of the term by the mystical current of the environmental discourse of that time, which saw in the materialization of a &#8220;Mother Earth&#8221; the perfect alibi for its agenda. This interpretation may have contributed to the mistrust Gaia Theory raised in the traditional academic scene, and the consequent delay in engaging into a more cautious appreciation of its potential. Currently, in the imminence of a global climate and environmental collapse, these discussions are revisited and gain new strength with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bruno_Latour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruno Latour<\/a>, Bruno Clarke, Timothy Lenton, and others. Many of the criticisms of this theory are based on the interpretation of the Darwinian theory of the selection of species through competition. The survival of the fittest would be incompatible with the idea that living beings, by their metabolism, modify the environment in such a way that the conditions for their very existence cease to exist and open space for new species to thrive. However, there are examples of exactly that in the formation of the atmosphere and in the ecological succession. The fact is that life is a planetary phenomenon and, contrary to the odds, the surface of the planet has been alive for at least 3.7 billion years, maintaining its dynamics with abiotic systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ccb6499 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ccb6499\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-39379c2\" data-id=\"39379c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e17c0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e17c0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"350\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/margulis1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/margulis1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/margulis1-270x279.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Lynn Margulis<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-33eb0e9\" data-id=\"33eb0e9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28e2c54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"28e2c54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lynn-margulis-book-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lynn-margulis-book-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agendagotsch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lynn-margulis-book-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8b36dc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8b36dc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d50f337\" data-id=\"d50f337\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d14510c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d14510c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>It is not by chance that Ernst G\u00f6tsch&#8217;s views suffer from the same mistrust and fall victim to the same allegations as the Gaia Theory.

As if it was not hard enough for our science to incorporate concepts such as love into the interpretation of ecosystems, Ernst proposes another category: inner-pleasure &#8211; which would be the result of acting according to the understanding that &#8220;each individual, of every generation, of all species, appears equipped to perform its tasks and fulfill its functions moved by inner-pleasure&#8221;. Subject to misinterpretations, inner-pleasure can mislead to hedonism. However, once again, as in the case of unconditional love, the individual is not at the center. Instead, the syntropic tendency of life is. The consequence of this detachment is that inner-pleasure is more related to the idea of belonging to the macro-organism than to personal satisfaction itself. Considering that the native language of Ernst G\u00f6tsch is German, we suspect that we could find clues in the subjective values we normally carry from our linguistic matrix. When asked what the translation of inner-pleasure into German would be, Ernst pointed out &#8220;Inneren Antrieb,&#8221; therefore closer to the ideas of &#8220;drive&#8221;, &#8220;urge&#8221; or &#8220;impulse&#8221;. In this sense, a farmer&#8217;s work of managing an ecosystem and at the same time favoring syntropic flows of energy would provoke joy. In addressing the concept of syntropy applied to psychology, the Italian researchers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/6210050\/2012-06_Syntropy_Cosmology_and_Life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ulisse di Corpo and Antonella Vannini <\/a>(2014) came to similar conclusions in their experiments, mentioning the ideas of purpose and feeling of achievement as opposed to &#8220;feelings of emptiness, emotional pain , anxiety and distress &#8220;- these experienced as a result of actions contrary to syntropy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07ffe7f elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"07ffe7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=vt_8OI9EYcE&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-adf3866 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"adf3866\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d8e944\" data-id=\"8d8e944\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1553c75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1553c75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>From this brief revision of principles, we infer some of the reasons why Syntropic Farming, despite being agronomically efficient, still finds it difficult to claim its citizenship in the scientific world. In addition to the concepts discussed so far, there is still the teleological issue, often referred to as a supposed weakness. Affirmations of Ernst G\u00f6tsch such as &#8220;life is a strategy the planet Earth created to fulfill its function&#8221; may seem to suggest immanent predestination, a causal purpose, which would conflict with all the secular effort to liberate science (and the individual) from the medieval Christian thinking. The modern or classical scientific mentality has since assumed rationality and objectivity as a definite promise of autonomy and freedom (which was consistent with its time, the bourgeois revolutions of the XVII and XVIII centuries). As in a kind of trauma, this rupture would leave long-lasting marks and, even with the evolution of discussions about contemporaneity and complex systems (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ilya_Prigogine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prigogine<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3t7UFTpDHE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morin<\/a>), the scientific debate in Social Sciences and especially in Natural Sciences still resents in the presence of a teleological language, associating it with ideas of purpose and finality. Words such as &#8220;strategy&#8221; and &#8220;tactics&#8221;, for example, have been expressly misrepresented, including in scientific journal editorials: &#8220;Terms such as &#8216;strategy&#8217; and &#8216;tactics&#8217; are philosophically questionable when applied to plants and inferior animals, and should be left to politicians, military and sports&#8221;, wrote the researcher Paul Kramer in 1984.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-223b032 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"223b032\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-865449a\" data-id=\"865449a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb4b804 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb4b804\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>On the other hand, important philosophy contributions have influenced a self-reflection of Natural Sciences as a whole, revisiting teleology with another perspective.

As Syntropic Farming invariably works with polycultures (meaning complex interactions), and with species that have life cycles as distinct as lettuce (short) and an oak-tree (long), the teleological tailing can indeed suggest an imperative trajectory. But it also could be considered as an &#8220;everything goes as if,&#8221; without compromising the operationality, as the sense of purpose in Kant.

In studies about the role of cooperation in evolutionary mechanisms, ideas such as altruism or group well-being are also regarded. All of them, to a greater or lesser extent, find opponents who question their ultimate purpose-driver.<\/p><p>It is curious to note that selfishness and individual well-being present in the Theory of Evolution by natural selection are not questioned in the same way. It&#8217;s part of our culture to believe that all species compete to survive. People take it as a natural process and an essential lesson to carry in life. What if it is not? What if we re-interpret the purpose of life on earth disregarding these concepts?
