reek had it right where he expected it

It’s fun and provocative to think of this as device-decentralization and increasing the interface to interact with objects. Metaphysically weighty

Is the quiet, deep beaver spot behind my house the same as a home for a small rodent and the last place I can find St. John’s Wort in my area?

Yeah, you’re contending with a long-lived ontological problem of where the real object is. Like is Socrates Sitting the same object as Socrates Standing even though the qualities are different?

will i be able to talk with “The quiet and deepest part of the beaver swamp” by my house?

totally! feel like i’ve intuitively known optionality causes more problems than it offers solutions for but the status quo has been completely the opposite; had me questioning myself

It translates all the other forces on its own behalf, and it seeks to make them accept the version of itself that it would like them to translate.

the stupid ai really helped out tonight. feel like this is the best kind of use i’ve found. like “what’s obvious that i’m missing?”

got “on the phone” with chatgpt and that shit helped me realized i didn’t think to just check the fuse. pulled into the driveway, yup. different store, new fuse, victory (that i really needed).

oh interesting. in the imagination moment i let whatever i’m feeling tap into my subconscious. then that either pops up in my mind randomly or sometimes i quiet down enough when working on a puzzle to feel into it

i’ll try to remember exactly the activity (often driving or walking or some menial task at work), give the feeling a name, reword it on the spot, basically attentively play with it in the environment i’m in.

then write later during some regular practice - which ends up as a reconstruction exercise

this is when i really try to build as many connections as possible in the moment when something feels struck

i went and grabbed some sand from our big lake, strips of the coast are strewn with deposits of whatever this black sand is. i want to try to incorporate it into pottery so these are some test tiles that have just come out of the bisque firing.

but they also look like a cute mountain scape

write later but often

i agree with this. nothing is quite the same as the sensations in imagining (which i often get reading actually). writing is work and a puzzle and full of forgetting.

my strategy for capture is mostly relying heavy on subconscious and also trying to build memory connections when imagining.
