Cultivating Compassion: Ethical Considerations for Conscious Farming in Hued Fields

Hued fields afflicted by the curse of consciousness The idyllic image of hued fields, bathed in sunlight and adorned with wildflowers, often brings to mind feelings of tranquility and beauty. However, what if these seemingly peaceful landscapes were afflicted by the curse of consciousness? The concept of consciousness, the ability to be aware and experience subjective thoughts and feelings, has long been the subject of philosophical and scientific inquiry. It is the essence of what sets humans apart from the rest of the natural world. But what if consciousness was not limited to humans, but extended to the fields themselves? In this hypothetical scenario, the hued fields would be imbued with a sense of self-awareness and subjectivity. They would experience the world around them, feel the warmth of the sun on their vibrant petals, and sense the gentle breeze rustling through their grasses. This curse of consciousness would transform a serene landscape into a world filled with sentient beings.

This campaign started near the end of May in 2020. I happen to live in a part of the world (regional Australia) that has had the good fortune to escape the worst of the pandemic, and we've been able to play a weekly, in-person campaign with only one or two brief interruptions.

To do that ending justice, the Runelord Karzoug is alive and well at the start of Curse of the Crimson Throne and starting to send his giant armies to conquer Varisia. 56 - Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.

This curse of consciousness would transform a serene landscape into a world filled with sentient beings. This idea may seem far-fetched and even absurd, but it raises intriguing questions about the nature of consciousness and our place in the world. If hued fields were conscious, how would their experience differ from our own? Would they possess emotions and desires? Would they long for freedom and autonomy, or would they find contentment in their stationary existence? Furthermore, the cursed fields would undoubtedly face existential and philosophical dilemmas.

The Richmond County Mirror , Том 3

Стр. 132 - QUEEN and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess excellently bright. Earth, let not thy envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia's shining orb was made Heaven to clear when day did close: Bless us then with wished sight, Goddess excellently bright. Lay thy bow of pearl apart And thy crystal-shining quiver; Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe, how short soever: Thou that mak'st. ‎

Стр. 40 - His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz. New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign and independent States. ‎

Стр. 136 - Great in the earth, as in the ethereal frame; Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees; Lives through all life, extends through all extent; Spreads undivided, operates unspent! ‎

Стр. 90 - Some men with swords may reap the field, And plant fresh laurels where they kill: But their strong nerves at last must yield; They tame but one another still: Early or late They stoop to fate, And must give up their murmuring breath, When they, pale captives, creep to death. The garlands wither on your brow, Then boast no more your mighty deeds; Upon Death's purple altar now See, where the victor-victim bleeds: Your heads must come To the cold tomb; Only the actions of the just Smell sweet, and blossom. ‎

Стр. 161 - I envy no quality of the mind or intellect in others ; not genius, power, wit, or fancy ; but, if I could choose what would be most delightful, and, I believe, most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing ; for it makes life a discipline of goodness — creates new hopes, when all earthly hopes vanish ; and throws over the decay, the destruction of existence, the most gorgeous of all lights ; awakens life even in death, and from corruption and decay calls up. ‎

Стр. 40 - Britain, bounded on the south by a line from the bay of Chaleurs, along the high lands which divide the rivers that empty themselves into the river St. Lawrence from those which fall into the sea. ‎

Стр. 40 - Croix river to the highlands, along the said highlands which divide those rivers that empty themselves into the river St. Lawrence, from those which fall into the Atlantic Ocean, to the north-westernmost head of Connecticut river. ‎

Стр. 186 - Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over he is superior; for it is a prince's part to pardon: and Solomon, I am sure, saith, " It is the glory of a man to pass by an offence. ‎

Стр. 56 - Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present — advances us in the dignity of thinking beings. ‎

Стр. 12 - Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name, The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye, Lovelier in heaven's sweet climate, yet the same. ‎

There’s an eerie stillness in the streets of Korvosa, a portent perhaps of the veritable calm before the storm. As Goldcape looks around the perimeter of the Old Fishery, Ralph Blackfeather dons a mask and girds himself with heavy weaponry in his costumed guise as The Reckoner. He then scales the sides of the building and up to the roof. The Old Fishery is a creaking, dilapidated structure built on the banks of the Jeggare River, with most of the structure extending out over the water on wooden pilings. From the outside, the place looks dark, quiet, and boarded-up tight. The reek of brine and week-dead fish permeates the air as Goldcape decides to swim the calm waters of the Jeggare to see if there’s a way into the building from underneath. She finds a dense array of pilings under part of the structure that are difficult to squeeze between, but she manages to do so and sees an opening above! Seconds later, she emerges into a chilly room. Most of the “floor” is taken up by the open water, but a narrow walkway around the pool contains room to squeeze past a collection of old cabinets, lockboxes, and shelves filled with all manner of detritus—likely the results of petty theft and violent assault. Goldcape can see a large shape in the water some yards away, but her attention is focussed on a man shuffling about the walkway above, deep in thought. The man is jaundiced and bent from old age and he wears a filthy old suit of gray padded armor. Instantly, Goldcape realises who this is: Gaedren Lamm himself!

They would question their purpose and meaning, grappling with their ephemeral existence and the inevitability of change. As humans, we too face these existential quandaries, but we are blessed with the ability to seek answers and find solace in our consciousness. The cursed fields, however, would be trapped in a perpetual state of contemplation, endlessly pondering the mysteries of their existence without the ability to resolve them. The notion of hued fields afflicted by the curse of consciousness serves as a thought experiment, challenging us to consider the boundaries of consciousness and our relationship with the natural world. It calls into question our anthropocentric view of the world and highlights the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living things. As we continue to explore and understand the complexities of consciousness, let us not forget to cherish and protect the beauty and serenity of the hued fields. Whether conscious or not, they are an integral part of our world and deserve our respect and appreciation..

1. John - 2/5 - I found "Hued fields afflicted by the curse of consciousness" to be pretentious and inaccessible.
