You aren’t outside the biosphere looking in. You are glued to it, in a way that’s much more super than Super Glue. How so? You are glued to the biosphere phenomenologically. This means that even if you are physically far away from it – if you could take a tape measure and figure out that you were 200,000 kilometres away, outside Earth’s gravitational field, you would still be ‘in’ it in a phenomenological sense, based on the kind of philosophical argument we have just been exploring.
