Indigenous leader and activist Ailton Krenak reminds us that we must
awaken from the comatose senselessness we have been immersed in since
the beginning of the modern colonial project, where order, progress,
development, consumerism, and capitalism have taken over our entire
existence, leaving us only very partially alive, and, in fact, almost
dead. To awaken from the coma of modernity is, for Krenak, to awaken
to the possibility of becoming attuned to “the cosmic sense of
life.” He points out that the COVID-19 pandemic affects all
so-called “human” lives and that the time is ripe for us all to
reflect on and undo the exclusivity and distinction that have
characterized the concept of humanity throughout Western modernity.
