Truth is a dead thing, it exists only in the observed past. The future is only at best, probabilities. Now is here, and liminal, remade each moment, more false than the past, and truer than the future could ever be.
Hey if you're headed to fivecamp / vibecamp 5 use this to schedule your events! It'll help with event conflicts + making a pdf you can print out ๐

This was a really fun interview!
Tara's work was inspiring to learn about, and you can really tell how passionate she is. The level of historical detail, the groundwork in diving into internet communities. A lot of threads woven by a drive to help society rejoin the transcendent.
Great to know she'll be in the crowd :)
ANNOUNCING
I know y'all hate journalists but we will have one (maybe two, details pending) people at camp interviewing folks again, this time on uh less controversial topics ๐
One of them is Tara Isabella Burton, you might remember her as the author of the New Atlantis article about post rationality, Rational Magic
@timebard and I spoke to her this week and I think you guys are really going to love this conversation. Vibecamp is one of her research sites for a book she's working on for a Templeton Foundation-funded, multi-disciplinary and multi-year project called 'Can Beauty Save The World'
We talked to her about transcendence, magic, beauty, religion, and connection - and how one can win at life to the extent that your job is going around to interesting cultural pockets and gatherings and studying them along axes such as beauty and transcendence ๐
Read her work at https://t.co/xRXMFaSkSG!!
(we will have badges to help you identify anyone who might be there interviewing people)
Austin Office Hours will be tonight @ the same place and a new time!
After some discussion, weโve moved the start to 6:30pm
Wednesday @ 6:30pm @ cosmic saltillo ! look for the duck!
@owlthatissuperb Hmmm, i'll add a toggle for the location view, make the generic tracks the default. The second layer is a simple an good call! Getting it built.
