Another personal trailhead for me was my first book, Tempo (2011). There were a lot of themes I wanted to address then that I didn’t because I didn’t feel prepared enough. I still don’t, but these days I don’t let that stop me from trying stuff

A book is the plan, but I have no idea what I’ll actually end up with, within this broad theme. Perhaps I’ll end up with an interpretive dance piece, or a trading card game, or a movie script instead. Whatever I end up doing will develop at https://multitemporality.com

@meeyong and I will return to Seattle. Perhaps we’ll like LA enough to stay. I haven’t dealt with a personal horizon longer than a month in 5 years (when I did a similar longer gig, though non-residential, with@a16z in 2014-15).2 replies 1 retweet 8 likesShow this thread -

Copy/paste error upthread. Here’s the correct link for the Berggruen Institute. If you’re in the neighborhood between Aug 15 this year, and May 15, 2020, holler.https://www.berggruen.org

And in case you’re wondering, my other writing will continue as usual, just in directions helpfully aligned with this gig. Many of my recent posts across
@ribbonfarm and@breaking_smart have actually been scouting essays (the OG meaning of ‘essay’ as it happens) for this project.1 reply 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread
Yes of course. That too is actually a disguised experiment related to this (world building is a key theme in multitemporality so I figured I should get some practice actually building one)
