Feeling remarkably better today — Even went outside — Of course since everything was still in black and white I overdid it
Easier to see how we can displace ourselves in time when there is a clear cause and effect — I was there and now I’m here — The post-camp syndrome is well known among the Unirondack connoisseurs
Far less clear when your passing between epochs

Passing between epochs

It’s confusing most of us think we are still in the Holocene — while our worldview has moved into the Anthropocene we stubbornly believe the consequences are still in the Holocene

Mayan civilization's discontents

Around 31 minutes at the link above is some stunning footage of the cave Actun Tunichil Muknal we visited in Belize — You aren’t allowed to bring your cell phone since previous tourists had dropped theirs — damaging the skulls of sacrificed Mayans who have rested unperturbed for 100s of years
The Nova special Ancient Maya Metropolis Season 48 Episode 22 is recommended — As an exercise every time the collapse of the Mayan Metropolis is mentioned see if it applies to here and now
Like me — I’m sure you’ll gasp —

“Once, in a cheap science fiction novel, Fat had come across a perfect description of the Black Iron Prison, but set in the far future. So if you superimposed the past (ancient Rome) over the present (California in the twentieth century) and superimposed the far future world of The Android Cried Me a River over that, you got the Empire, as the supra- or trans-temporal constant. Everyone who had ever lived was literally surrounded by the iron walls of the prison; they were all inside it and none of them knew it.”
― Philip K. Dick, VALIS

Feels today: Worriedly happy.

Much Love,
