There's a word at the beginning and end of Dawn of Everything that feels self-referential right now: Kairos.
> We began this book with a quote which refers to the Greek notion of kairos as one of those occasional moments in a society’s history when its frames of reference undergo a shift – a metamorphosis of the fundamental principles and symbols, when the lines between myth and history, science and magic become blurred – and, therefore, real change is possible. Philosophers sometimes like to speak of ‘the Event’ – a political revolution, a scientific discovery, an artistic masterpiece – that is, a breakthrough which reveals aspects of reality that had previously been unimaginable but, once seen, can never be unseen. If so, kairos is the kind of time in which Events are prone to happen.
> Societies around the world appear to be cascading towards such a point. This is particularly true of those which, since the First World War, have been in the habit of calling themselves ‘Western’. On the one hand, fundamental breakthroughs in the physical sciences, or even artistic expression, no longer seem to occur with anything like the regularity people came to expect in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet at the same time, our scientific means of understanding the past, not just our species’ past but that of our planet, has been advancing with dizzying speed. Scientists in 2020 are not (as readers of mid-twentieth-century science fiction might have hoped) encountering alien civilizations in distant star systems; but they are encountering radically different forms of society under their own feet, some forgotten and newly rediscovered, others more familiar, but now understood in entirely new ways.
Reading this as I write something very inspired by this work feels especially serendipitous, especially at this time. When they wrote the book, I think that kairos felt more serendipitous itself. But as the frequency of opportunity increases, the veil between realities feels more malleable... that perhaps we can poke a finger through and open a portal to a completely different future than the one we've felt locked into for such a long time.

One should not sympathize with or idolize anyone, but this person radicalized my views deeply; I cannot speak for others.

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A black and white image of a utility pole overwhelmed by a chaotic tangle of wires. The wires loop, twist, and hang in various directions, some appearing disconnected or frayed. The dense mass of cables creates a visual maze, suggesting poor maintenance or infrastructure overload. The pole itself is weathered, and the scene hints at potential hazards. The image emphasizes the complexity and disorder of urban electrical systems.

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A monochrome image of a deteriorating urban area. A brick wall with peeling paint stands in the background, partially damaged and surrounded by scattered bricks and debris. A concrete curb runs along the bottom edge, and a manhole cover is visible nearby. Overgrown weeds and plants emerge from cracks in the pavement. Electrical boxes mounted on metal frames and a chain-link fence suggest infrastructure. The scene evokes neglect and decay, contrasting nature’s per…
ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A close-up black and white photo of a morning glory flower blooming on a vine wrapped around a metal railing. The flower is on the right side, its delicate petals and central opening clearly visible. The vine’s tendrils and leaves intertwine with the railing, creating a contrast between organic curves and industrial lines. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the flower’s gentle beauty. The image captures a moment of quiet resilience in an urban setting.…
ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A black and white photo of an outdoor tiled surface made of hexagonal tiles. The tiles are worn and uneven near the top edge, with some broken pieces and scattered debris. In the upper right corner, a small stack of square slabs tied with string sits atop a short stand or stool. The slabs appear heavy and utilitarian, possibly construction materials. The scene captures a gritty urban texture, with strong contrasts between the geometric tile pattern and the roughn…

Flailing on #affordability, he blurts out an idea which he knows will be challenged in the courts so he can tell the masses "see I'm fighting for you but they won't let me", all while he also shakes down the credit card companies. 💳
