Hi Krim

The philosopher John D Caputo in his book 'On Religion'
reminds us before modern SOM we did not see the animate
and the inanimate distinction as matching an inner and outer
distinction of subjects and objects:

"it was the opposite. They regarded 'inanimate' things
as contracted to themselves, whilst 'animate' things
overflow their bodily limits and reach out into the world".

MOQ likewise can have no such dualist simplicity as
you seem to wish to hang on to.

Maybe too subtle for you all this if you want to see
things in black and white: animate/inanimate.
