Bayo Akomolafe On Ethics, Morality, And Presence

Bayo Akomolafe delves into the concept of emergence, describing the world as a constantly evolving state of "becoming" rather than being fixed. He explores his aversion to discarded gum as a metaphor for how unseen forces like morality shape our behaviors. Akomolafe differentiates between morality and ethics, suggesting that ethics is a dynamic, ever-emerging force that challenges rigid moral structures. Through stories like the Ship of Theseus, he examines the fluid nature of identity and presence, arguing that to be truly present is to acknowledge the constant interplay between presence and absence.
