“nowness” isn’t about passive acceptance but active steering. most of the time we *know* how to balance situations but are stuck replaying an injustice in the mind, and oversteering to compensate.

the more severe cases of imbalance are due to not knowing how to ride a bike. it’s not the fear of the physical pain of falling but the fear of the social embarrassment.

this creates “addictions” where you get stuck in a state of permanent overcompensation with no possible end. ironically, setting the “compensate” dial to Infinity ensure impossibility of ever resolving the original trauma!https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1333339180601020416 …

“nowness” thus implies 2 things: one is oppo-laziness. not the hard work self flagellating kind but the constant awareness that maintains flow states and bike balance. the other is oppo-fear. not the blindfolded retarded YOLO battlecry but facing your wounds with eyes wide open
