The language you're fluent in — but forgot how to hear | Louis VI

Louis VI argues that humans are hardwired to nature's sonic languages, but modern life has drowned them out, leading to a crisis of inattention that contributes to rising anxiety and climate breakdown. He shares recordings from rainforests, highlighting the chorus of aliveness and how these sounds trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation. Louis VI explains that ancestral grandmothers and grandfathers lived in an attentive relationship to the songs of other species, contributing to conversations that span back millions of years. Reconnecting to nature is fundamental for planetary and human health because we evolve not just to hear the information but to have an emotional response to it.
