   • 2015, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Cannibal Metaphysics. (Translated by Peter Skafish.) University of Minnesota Press:

     Animism taken to its final conclusion ... is not only a perspectivism but an "enemyism."

   • 2024 Sharon T. Friedman, "Is it A Time for Peace Yet? Chief Thomas Quotes our Old Friend Kohelet," in The Smokey Wire: National Forest News and Views, 25 March 2024

     I think free-range "enemyism" can keep us from solutions, and needlessly subject groups to a position of "forever enemy-hood."
