Reading Timothy Morton's Dark Ecology and Thomas Metzinger's Being No
oaklandOne* - profound thinking through of the processual fabrication of dynamically shifting subjectivity models and scales of Earth magnitude. There's a richness to this substrate, finally feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel I've been squirming around in. Good leads towards a more clearly delineated unknown set of variables - undetermined. As Morton says: a necessary upgrade of certain foundational concepts.
Met with ___ yesterday. He's full of praise for me, embarrassing, but the love and admiration is completely reciprocated, which amounts to an incredibly validating experience. "I need you in my life." Many ideas put on to the table concerning many ways of living and working. I hope to exchange skills and labors with him - offered to go help him build wherever he is at the moment. I believe I would do anything to help facilitate that mans ideas, not due to charisma or manipulation, but because I sincerely believe in his existential project. Many topics: jewelry and metal work, sustainable house building, land surveying, plant and animal tending, psychopharmaceuticals, music making - an Arp 2600 that I'm incredibly excited to lay eyes and ears on it.
Before that: good walks and talks with ___ in the forest. Discussed the scaling oscillations of her own Existential decisions, to have a business or go to art school?
