@jim_rutt It’s not so much about “translating” what is normally unconscious embodied cognition into what we normally think of as conscious cognition (verbal, conceptual, logical, left-brained, etc). It’s more about learning to “speak the language” of those embodied modes of cognition.

@GRITCULT When living in Vietnam, my male friends went to a place they called the prison gym. Super basic local place, all Viet guys shirtless, making intense eye contact & grunting at each other intimidatingly. My friends said they were able to do more reps there than at the fancy gym.

@jackmurphylive Not exactly the same, but I read a lot of adventure books when I was 10-16 by Jules Verne, Jack London, Conan Doyle, Kipling, Hemingway, Dumas, Homer, etc. Great stories. This is what got me intro to history and anthropology.

Not just Twitter, much of modern society has been trending in this direction. Anyone have counter-examples? https://t.co/ZeuOwQIaR9 Quoted tweet from @krrishd: twitter rn feels like elementary school when you and your friends got different teachers for the next grade and saw each other less and less

Twitter engagement has been really screwy lately, so I experimented with locking my account. Seems like that does change engagement, but I’m not sure I like it. What has everyone else’s experinece with this been?

@visakanv Also true for being an entrepreneur, media maker / podcaster, or artist of any kind.

@nathan_jcurtis We’ll see what I notice.

The Western notion of history is concerned with verifiable facts and linear progressions – a history that is essentially dead. This story I am telling here cannot be wrapped up neatly, it is not the kind of history that belongs under museum glass. euvieivanova.substack.com/p/on-portals-a…

@jim_rutt @made_in_cosmos What was their reasoning?
