He's a very pleasant man. He knows his subject. I just find him incredibly frustrating.

I was at a think tank on Monday and one of the others said something fascinating about time and the technosocial. I can't recall his precise terms, but it was about encountering an old post/tweet/whatever for the first time and imbuing it with a newness - in such moments its age becomes irrelevant. And he extended that to representations of our lives in the technosocial, which become sort of suspended and permanently new. I'm not doing his thought justice, it was more detailed and precise than I'm suggesting, but I hope you get the drift.

Erm, what is technosocial?

 

[Shadrach]

I've never been to Italy. We did northern Europe. So I'm enjoying your snaps very much.

I'm pretty sure you would love Rome.

 

[Ribh]

I'm pretty sure you would love Rome.

Why's that? I've always had a sort of aversion to the Romans ~ all that conquering of the barbarians. On the other hand there is all that wonderful Renaisance Art... So what about Rome do you think I'd particularly like...?

I sort of get it. It fits with the *time is an artificial construct* theory ~ which I probably don't understand as I think it's wrong. We have day & night. We have Summer, Autum, Winter, Spring in an endless cycle. They all mark the passage of time while circling back to the beginning.

This thread is getting to deep for me. I'm more of a "Look! Pretty Chicken!" kind of guy.
