Play Slow
Whatever we had in mind (consciously or subconsciously) isn’t what’s happening. Instead, it’s more difficult, overwhelming, or dull than we’d envisioned.
Pamela Kristan • Awakening in Time

McLuhan noted that “when information moves at the speed of signals in the central nervous system, man is confronted with the obsolescence of all earlier forms of acceleration, such as road and rail. What emerges is a total field of inclusive awareness. The old patterns of psychic and social adjustment become irrelevant.”
L. M. Sacasas • The Disorders of Our Collective Consciousness

Byung-Chul Han • Vita Contemplativa
“In life the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing.”
