We are their children, for the time being.

Maximizing
I’ve never “monetized” this blog, but i think the time has come to maximize it. My contributions to it have been minimal of late, meaning that this blog has made very few claims on your attention. Bog knows your attention is busy enough already! But “maximizing” in this case means aphorizing. Aphorisms, or maxims, are my favorite art form anyway. They say the most with the fewest words, so they are maximally economical for the attention. They are like seeds in the ecology of meaning. Here’s an example from Herbert Simon:
Everything is connected, but some things are more connected than others.
You’ll find this in Turning Signs ·12, where of course you will find more context, more links, more connexions. If you are so inclined.
Turning Signs 2.14 is now ready for download from the Contents page.

betimes
If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.
Hamlet, V.iv.210
The rest is silence.
Faith and semiosis
Inkling of the day:
There is no time for more than a little consciousness.
— Gregory Bateson
