既然我们已经启动了不可逆转的全球变暖进程，我们便正面临着生态灾难的可能。然而，这场环境危机同时也是对我们传统哲学思维习惯的冲击，让我们直面一个似乎不仅超出了我们的掌控、也超出了我们理解认知的问题。全球变暖或许正是Timothy Morton所谓的“超客体”（hyperobjects）最具戏剧性的例证——这些实体在时间和空间维度上如此浩瀚，以至于彻底打破了人们对于“物”究竟为何的传统认知。在本书中，Morton阐释了超客体的本质及其对我们如何思考世界的影响

……尼克·兰德（Nick Land）的《熔解之牙》（Fanged Noumena），它深潜于安非他命式的癫狂之中，从而精准映射了后现代资本主义的精神分裂症。梵高的书信。菲利普·洛帕特的个人散文集。蒂莫西·莫顿（Timothy Morton）的《超对象》（Hyperobjects）。朱利安·杰恩斯（Julian Jaynes）的《二分心智的崩塌：人类意识的起源》。
…Fanged Noumena by Nick Land for diving deeply into amphetaminic insanity thus accurately mirroring the schizophrenia of postmodern capitalism. The letters of Van Gogh. Phillip Lopate's personal essays. Hyperobjects by Timothy Morton. On the Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes.
……把我们自己视作位于存在巨链（Great Chain of Being）的顶端。我很难把莫顿太当回事，因为我们（我是指他和我）的形而上学观点是完全背道而驰的。“超对象”在本体论上极其复杂，以至于让人觉得造出这个概念纯粹是为了合理化这位哲学家事先就持有的信念（不过平心而论，很多东西你都可以这么去评价）。
…ourselves as sitting at the pinnacle of the Great Chain of Being. It's hard for me to take Morton too seriously because our ( by which I mean his and mine ) Metaphysics are so diametrically opposed. Hyperobjects are so ontologically complex as to give the feeling they have been invented solely to justify the philosopher's pre-existing beliefs ( though in fairness, you can write that about a lot of things ).
……一种与“科学战队”完全兼容、提醒人类我们本就是自然的一部分、由自然构成且深嵌于自然之中的哲学：物理主义。我完全搞不懂莫顿那些奇奇怪怪的原创新概念（超对象、有意识的巨石）到底有什么吸引力、实用价值或别的什么。在反驳流行的“人与自然隔阂”的错误观念方面，它并不比朴素的物理主义高明到哪里去。作为“人文战队”的宣传基底，它也没多大吸引力（按你的说法……
…perfectly-compatible-with-Team-Science philosophy that reminds humans that we are part of, made of, and embedded within nature: physicalism. I don't understand the appeal/utility/whatever of Morton's odd original contributions (hyperobjects, conscious boulders). It doesn't refute popular misconceptions of a nature-human gulf any better than plain physicalism. It's also not a very appealing basis for Team Humanities propaganda (as you style…
……全凭之前拍板的决定。在不把整个帖子彻底带偏的前提下，这显然也是气候和生物圈崩溃没有（而且很可能继续不会）被正视的原因，参见蒂莫西·莫顿的《超对象》
…through what was decided before. Without totally derailing the thread, this is also obviously why climate and biosphere collapse is not (and likely will continue not) to be addressed, e.g. Timothy Morton's Hyperobjects
