Now if that’s not a delicious tidbit… I didn’t read the whole Balle piece because you convinced me I should read the books. Is there somewhere you summarize your skepticism about relationism (without spoilers)?
As a theatre major who, in high school, read a lot of Isaac Asimov essays about astrophysics, I just came up with a thought about time, after reading this great newsletter. Maybe time is an emergent property of the universe, of entropy, of change. It's not a thing in itself but a way to measure change. Okay, back to memorizing my lines for that production of Fiddler on the Roof I'm going to be in.
PS, like Scrith, I stopped reading your Balle piece because I decided i should read those books first. Obvisously, Balle needs you on her marketing team.
“… and I don’t buy relationism….”
