Time as Practice
We are living through an historic threshold. For decades it unfolded gradually; since the pandemic, its acceleration has become impossible to ignore. Time feels compressed, elastic, out of joint.
This threshold marks a new phase of the Enlightenment’s aspirations. The speed and spread of our computational power are pulling many of the concepts that once structured Western experience across it—consciousness, intelligence, knowledge, politics, culture, progress. As computation reaches new tempos, these ideas are no longer stable. They are being reformatted.
Time as Practice is my inquiry into how modern life bends, fractures, and composes time—and how we learn to move through those shifting currents with clarity, curiosity, and renewed possibility.
Here you’ll find experiments in thinking: meditations on science and myth, technology and democracy, ancient rhythms and computational speeds.
Nothing here aims at final answers. Everything is part of a longer practice of noticing how time moves—and learning how to move with it.
