 +=== Conversation with Matt ===
 +
 +  * Human reactions to controlled environment (such as a city, http://www.superflux.in/blog/infrastructure-fiction) and uncontrolled environment (everything that's not a city)
 +  * Weatherlore is an interesting direction, it seems more malleable than myths
 +  * Evolutionary psychology - how much of our worldview is based on primitive responses? to research: meaning making in humans, in contrast to animals, who primarily respond to stimuli without trying to make sense out of it
 +    * e.g difference between a bird sensing EM field in contrast to the human responses "making stuff up to try to understand what happens"
 +    * human responses to stimuli: physical (tend to be dampened nowadays), mental (meaning making)
 +    * sonic experiment - pre-disaster changes in EM field
 +    * physical responses to the environment: body weather
 +    * (non)awareness of environmental changes: e.g. bushfire on an unusually hot day out of bushfire season in Adelaide Hills: seasons are more in flux, but people tend not to pay attention to signals from the environment. if the laws change to make an out-of-season fire instigation into criminal negligence - proof of acceptance of climate change.
