I want to connect this thread on political philosophy of free will to cultural consumption choices that seem “necessary” in some ways. Things you might sincerely tag #mustread or something like Kanye West music which all my music maven friends tell me is a must-appreciate oeuvrehttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/1187751885790302208 …

It is tempting to think of there being a ground truth cultural reality with different must-inhabit temporalities being co-extensive and nonrivalrous imperative coverings of it. Many maps for different journeys, one territory. Any journey that is not prohibited is mandatory.

But I think this flawed. I think in some sense there is no territory. Only maps.

Must-consumes are like public keys for accessing temporalities. You can’t get out though unless you know the private key. Trapdoor realities. Hotel California temporalities. Self-securing cults that reprogram your log level life semantics.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1128713731096043521?s=21 …

isn't multitemporality just a misalignment b/n your internal power laws and that of the world's?

I haven't yet actually defined or described multitemporality, I just use the term to bookmark ideas that connect to it usefully :D
