Coherence is a construct, never occurring in the moment. A moving river cannot reflect clearly. So it is with the motion of life: Only in later stillness do we see the shapes of things thrown out upon the surface. The inverted, clutching fingers of the trees. The enormity of sky.

Why Are Some Zoomers So Wistful For the '80s?

“It was kind of like the last decade before social media, cell phones...internet,” explained Anja Arvesen, a 19-year-old who goes by @offbrandpollypocket on Instagram. “Obviously it’s easy to romanticize something that you never experienced.

yes as a matter of fact i have absolutely been waiting in philosophical turmoil for the past ~12-15 years to find out if how the kids were gonna romanticize pre-internet times. wild!
