1
00:00:01,267 --> 00:00:03,867
I wonder: do we know time

2
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:06,334
as a concept apart from

3
00:00:06,467 --> 00:00:08,267
other concepts?

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,400
Concepts such as attention,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,234
focus,

6
00:00:13,367 --> 00:00:15,067
productivity,

7
00:00:15,201 --> 00:00:17,200
space,

8
00:00:17,334 --> 00:00:18,467
embodiment,

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,567
pace,

10
00:00:21,867 --> 00:00:23,434
efficiency,

11
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:25,067
synchronicity,

12
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,434
prompts.

13
00:00:29,767 --> 00:00:31,467
And I ask this question

14
00:00:31,601 --> 00:00:34,834
because I'm thinking about time

15
00:00:34,967 --> 00:00:40,034
as fluidity, state of embodiment,

16
00:00:40,634 --> 00:00:42,600
as fluid, being fluid,

17
00:00:43,334 --> 00:00:45,167
and therefore I recognize

18
00:00:45,567 --> 00:00:50,500
more circular, or cyclical approach to time.

19
00:00:51,034 --> 00:00:54,734
I also propose practices of

20
00:00:54,867 --> 00:00:55,834
circular time,

21
00:00:57,034 --> 00:01:01,201
adhering to concepts such as incubation,

22
00:01:02,067 --> 00:01:03,334
hibernation,

23
00:01:04,167 --> 00:01:05,734
recuperation,

24
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:08,000
reflection,

25
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,634
recovery and convalescence,

26
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:15,634
where one reserves time

27
00:01:15,767 --> 00:01:19,067
specifically for replenishment.

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,300
It is my experience that today's

29
00:01:24,434 --> 00:01:25,967
interpretation of time

30
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,900
automatically assumes a scarcity.

31
00:01:31,667 --> 00:01:34,867
I think this translates into relating,

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,134
working and producing

33
00:01:37,267 --> 00:01:39,067
with a singular focus,

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,434
demanding fixation and absorption.

35
00:01:44,734 --> 00:01:47,734
One goal, one road to attain

36
00:01:47,867 --> 00:01:48,634
the goal.

37
00:01:50,434 --> 00:01:53,301
I think this deprives us of anything,

38
00:01:53,434 --> 00:01:56,767
anyone, any process that can

39
00:01:56,901 --> 00:02:00,401
be found on sideroads,

40
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:01,801
in labyrinths,

41
00:02:01,934 --> 00:02:03,134
in confusion,

42
00:02:03,267 --> 00:02:05,201
or in non-focus,

43
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:08,967
non-temporal structures.

44
00:02:12,067 --> 00:02:15,667
Um, my advocacy in regards to

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,067
slow, radical slowness, um,

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,334
comes from my experience of

47
00:02:24,467 --> 00:02:28,700
uh, losing consciousness, um,

48
00:02:28,834 --> 00:02:35,834
my embodiment, um,

49
00:02:36,067 --> 00:02:39,800
comes with a slowing down

50
00:02:39,934 --> 00:02:42,067
of heart rate and blood pressure,

51
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:46,300
which causes me to lose consciousness.

52
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:51,967
And it's a very valuable experience,

53
00:02:53,534 --> 00:02:56,834
it can also be very inconvenient.

54
00:02:56,967 --> 00:02:59,434
A great inconvenience.

55
00:02:59,567 --> 00:03:06,967
But, um, the experience of slowing down,

56
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:10,834
of actually slowing motion,

57
00:03:10,967 --> 00:03:14,734
um, is something that I,

58
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:19,867
I

59
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,967
embrace the embodied knowledge

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,101
that comes with it.
