Mercury’s in retrograde & I’m thinking about my careless past. Did not follow the official NaPoWriMo prompt today. See y’all tomorrow!

The owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk. The work of wisdom takes place at the end of the day, after the undertakings of the event. “Nothing ever becomes real," Keats says, "till it is experienced.” Like a prayer with feathers landing from out of nowhere and flying to somehwere we cannot say.

New newsletter out this morning. Can’t promise it’s the best thing you’ve ever read, but it’s not nothing…

We aim for self-knowledge, to have some level of self-assuredness. A degree of certainty. But is that more of a hindrance than an aid? When we tie ourselves to static identities, what happens when we confront the reality of the way things change? When like everything else we cease to be the same? We are an event rather than a name.

Everything is made of small things. Electrons. Atoms. Nuts. Bolts. Screws. Prayer beads. Everything carries bits of something else. Nothing arrives fully formed. Everything starts as something other, becomes one thing and then another. Shifts. Changes, and then becomes something different yet again.

Repression is a rite of passage, they tell us. It’s called being an adult, they say. It’s all part of becoming a semi-well-adjusted member of a society. Smile. Nod. Stay in your lane. Dress for the job you want. Do as you're told. Pay your taxes and your rent. And, most importantly, stuff all your otherness way the fuck down so no one knows, and no one sees...

We talk about achievement. About goals. Setting them. Reaching them. About getting somewhere, becoming something. But what happens the morning after? What happens the next day? After the parade, the party. After they sweep the confetti away. What happens when the big moment fades? Maybe it's never been greatness we were after, but a baseline standard of enoughness brought to our days.

Something happens when you're unhurried, when you escape from acceleration and speed. When you give way to haste-less activity.

Something happens when you tarry, when you linger, when you pause.

You were never trying to escape your life, only what you thought it was supposed to be. Your real life has always been in the attention you give to slow things.

We collect the instances of what's expected of us. Air-quotes-normalcy. Air-quotes-conventionality. Air-quotes-respectability. In other unsaid words, side-eye-conformity. It’s the breakfast of champions, they say...

@krishnadeltoso @philosophy @startupnews @cogsci Sounds interesting! I learnt a lot from philosophical entries like Animal Cognition and Animal Consciousness,

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cognition-animal/

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/consciousness-animal/

Maybe AI could help us to avoid excessive anthropomorphic bias in our attempts to learn what there is? After all, it just could be creative, couldn't it,
