We\u2019re very used to thinking that we\u2019re simply walking upon a euclidean sphere, in a body, wearing the local culture, and that there is a today, yesterday, and tomorrow to worry about. Thinking this is just projecting and re-calculating our personal self-image and the world it believes it is occupied in against our consciousness. However, if you zoom out a bit beyond this you\u2019ll see that this isn\u2019t nearly as mature or as accurate as it deserves to be. When we let go of what we think we know there are a few things that are commonly encountered: 1) the fractal pandemic\u2014that it\u2019s one constantly evolving set of fractals on top of each other; 2) Morrison\u2019s hyper-entity\u2014that all life is everywhere, connected, streaming out like billions of tentacles moving through spacetime; 3) that thought is a kind of omnitool that can be used for far grander designs than merely repeating itself.
