But for me it was enough if, in my own bed, my sleep was so heavy as completely to relax my consciousness; for then I lost all sense of the place in which I had gone to sleep, and when I awoke in the middle of the night, not knowing where I was, I could not even be sure at first who I was; I had only the most rudimentary sense of existence, such as may lurk and flicker in the depths of an animal's consciousness; I was more destitute than the cave-dweller; but then the memory - not yet of the place in which I was, but of various other places where I had lived and might now very possibly be - would come like a rope let down from heaven to draw me up out of the abyss of not-being, from which I could never have escaped by myself: in a flash I would traverse centuries of civilisation,… Marcel Proust

Flammarion engraving, what happens when we as a civilization have exhausted all source of energy and power and became immaterial and the universe is still shutting down. Entropy can’t be reversed, but it can be restarted, really enjoyed The last question by Isaac Asimov https://astronomy.org/moravian/C00-Last%20Question.pdf

After a month of more or less complete indoors and absolute terrification to venture outside my newly adopted fully grown and possibly traumatized cat finally embraced the sun and greens, happy to share with farcasters here on catwalk, hope she will accept the outside world one walk at the time

Brilliant as ever from Nicholas Nassim Taleb Finally time to go back to Antifragile, one of those books that I read in portions in hope that consciousness and subconscious will absorb more if spread out in time

Aliens, otherworldly, finally we are at the stage to accept our otherworldliness, the remote areas of our consciousness or galaxies. Imaginable and unimaginable live side by side

Absolutely agree with this, thank you @pichi as always super fc insightful. My internal intuitive voices have been distancing me (in addition to really being busy with IRL projects) from the app since the competition started for eyeballs and performance posts. There is no way true meritocracy can win even in place like these where majority of people are not the average Joe. With all due respect for wide spectrum of disciplines just competing for weekly rewards is not gonna work and can easily devalue and debase the spontaneity of social interaction. This is the bases for further building, so the tone and atmosphere of the original FC in my opinion while less hectic and intense was more long term, hope it gets retuned, but either way I will be part of it no matter how frequent or infrequent, there is still magic here and I am really thankful for all the wonderful people I have met and old friends reconnected 💜

If anyone is in Montenegro, Boka Bay, tomorrow in Risan at 14.14 I am running a second book club meetup. We will be discussing The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teaching/ECS188/PDF_files/Machine_stops.pdf The following questions will be on the menu of discussion: 1. Is the society in The Machine Stops really that different from our own, or have we already started down the same path of isolation and dependence on technology? 2. Do you think the Machine failed the people, or did the people fail themselves by giving up autonomy and critical thinking? 3. If you had to choose between the comfort of the Machine and the uncertainty of Kuno's world, which would you pick-and why?

Everyone meet Nephthys Khepri whom I adopted from the streets two weeks ago as I announced here. The mission was successful so she is still an indoor cat adjusting to her new environment but slowly I am training her with harness and hopefully soon will be able to document outdoor adventures :) I have also ordered a transporter backpack so this will be another way of experiencing the world for her

Huge news, I am in the process of adopting a street cat, it appears this cat is homeless and was just neutered by a volunteering organization. I instantly fell in love, now we need to make sure that she is nobody’s so everyone wish me luck, hopefully she might have a human home soon

Optimism emerges, pushes away the gravity pull, magnets get confused, those enemies of the straight lines What I is becomes an enemy of straight lines because nothing is every straight no matter how much we try
