Today’s hot take (on eternity)…
Having “eternal life” is about a shift in the quality of the state of aliveness not a quantitative duration added as more and more and more time.
Getting it doesn’t lead to *more time* to be alive but rather to *more life* to our being in time.
@marshallk Excellent!! Love that they even called it surface area.

I’m curious how my sense lands with you?

CROWDFUND THE SEED OF THE FESTIVAL!

@iBrews It’s also phenomenologically just not the same to have the entire visual experience coming through the screen. Apple’s integration of analog and digital is much more humane—and I think also more epistemology stable.
