Time and the Future - Kent de Bruin

The Tyranny Of Time | NOEMA

The clock is a useful social tool, but it is also deeply political. It benefits some, marginalizes others and blinds us from a true understanding of our own bodies and the world around us.

Perhaps there is no past or future, only the perpetual present that contains this trinity of memory. ∆ Patti Smith, from M Train (Alfred A. Knopf, 2015)

To pay attention to the garden as a clock means entering a different relationship with time: as circular, not linear, as well as the acknowledgement that one of its recurring stations is death.

@gabrielvaldivia Could you add a view that lines up the weekends, like this? https://x.com/sergeykarayev/status/2008661926570848412/photo/1 > My wife and I were planning a few trips this year and I couldn't find a calendar that showed a year view that made sense to us. So I built a calendar to show your all-day events in a year. It's one of my favorite things I've made! > – @gabrielvaldivia

Two more asinine ideas: 1. Events have designated “widths” based on energy, but days get narrower as they get later, so some things can’t “fit” even if you’re free. 2. Tracking karmic balance for timezones. If you schedule a 7pm ET call, I should get to make a 7 am PT call.
