Adventures Through The Mind

CHAPTER

This chapter explores the danger of reductionism and the complexity of nature, using the example of taxonomy and its limitations in understanding the San Pedro plant.

The chapter also discusses the need for slowing down, practice, and skill building to truly comprehend the plant.
