The @meaningness model of how meaning fell apart (choiceless --> systematic --> countercultural --> subcultural --> atomized) and how it can be reconstructed (fluidity) rhymes well with my monotemporality --> atemporality --> multitemporality modelhttps://meaningness.com/meaningness-history …

choiceless+systematic = monotemporal countercultural to atomized = descent into atemporality fluidity = rise of multitemporality/constructionism

I always like to look for concrete fractal examples of such trend hypothesis. A sort of ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny type progression whereby individual creative output mirrors longer cultural patterns... and also as-above-so-below hermeticism

One I can see in my own life is the progression in my blog writing First couple of years: choiceless/systematic Gervais principle: beginning of my personal countercultural era Blogchains: my current subcultural mode Atomized: this is twitter draining some of my energy

It would be *nice* if multitemporality meant a single coherent and smoothly evolving tunnel reality for each person. But that's degenerate. The minimum complexity is for each of us to have a headspace that is a braid-like long garden of forking paths that orbit each other.

Waldenponding is degenerate multitemporality where the stress of a braid-like personal reality makes you want to simplify down to a single stranded or low-coupling multi-stranded subjectivity. The @eyecheng design fiction of New Nature gets at why this is too simple.

These themes have been discussed with a therapist. She is pro Waldenponding. I'm not even kidding. We parted ways, but I'm getting nostalgic.
