A Radical Embodied Account of Responsibility - Topoi

To make psychology more inclusive we need to confront the WEIRDness of our methods & metatheoretical commitments!

David Lee just died.
He formulated tau/time-to-contact, the most famous bit of ecological information.
He is one of the main reasons why ecological psychology is still alive.
We all are indebted to him. I met him once and ended up having dinner at his place. Very cool guy!
