Time as Practice
An 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.
Everything I write here is part of a longer practice of noticing how time moves — and how we move with it.

Birth of Physics - Michel Serres
Michel Serres makes Lucretius our contemporary. Published just before Le Parasite, Le Naissance de la physique was a key moment in the history of chaos theory and the ability to see order emerging from disorder -- a reversal of the Enlightenment's formula. Serres finds in Lucretius' De rerum natura a pre-Modern text that offers a more relevant way of thinking about order and disorder free of eternal natural laws.
