The tunnel metaphor works for the inside of your head too, not just the world outside. Memory as atemporal data space with wormholes (tunnels with suspiciously fast transit times) is how I conceptualize inside of my own head. Not ideas like "mind palace" or "cartesian theater".https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1090877692763754496 …

totally--in fact, the "rhizome" is literally the metaphor deleuze & guattari use to pick apart these kind of linear, successive grand narratives--which tend to distort accounts, in "tidying" them up there's a marie kondo joke somewhere here; i know it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome_(philosophy) …
