Where are we?
This is a philosophy text that we speak in our voices as it appears.
We are thinking out loud now, as we walk in the dark.
As a precaution, when one sets out on a journey to a place in Baniwa territory that teems with poisonous plants, liquid poison must be applied in one’s eyes. Philosophy-in-the-wild means: to take weapons that have been used against us and turn them into a shield.

There are poisonous snakes on the island.
What if instead of light we begin with venom?

It is interesting in that it is in you already.
You don’t have to look to the outside, because this venom has already happened.
Philosophers are children who are afraid of the dark.
Philosophers are children who are afraid of the Amazon.
Philosophers are children who are afraid of the Island.

THE FIRST CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST DUOLOGUE
Venom replaces the environment and the victim.
‘The wild’ is a spatial optics, the territory is in the ‘worst place’, it is not about the victim.

Poison is transferred to the apple. It is an apple of knowledge that now seems to also contain the power of a poison, a poison apple that makes them fall. But how does this transfer happen? There is a set of transfers: snake, apple, woman, poison, darknessssssssss.
We are thinking about the relation: snake-apple-woman now.
