I think I have a whole unconscious narrative-extension theory of geographic mobility that I operate by. I should write it up. Everybody actually operates by this but pretends they are operating by their spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is important but only 1/3 of what’s going on.

Varun Adibhatla @vr00nReplying to @vr00n @vgr @patwaterYou're simply asking cities to embrace their inner spirit animal. Throw in Chinese calendar, you have recipe for distinct urban archetypes. Bull city values, Bear city values, Monkey city Values, Bison city values etc.
