Junto: Time
Time can be experienced through many perspectives: physics, biology, memory, scarcity, markets, history, and the intimate spaces where urgency, regret, patience, and attention live. It shapes outcomes whether we manage it, waste it, surrender to it, or try to outrun it. In a networked world, it doesn’t vanish; it gets compressed, synchronized, monetized, and sometimes distorted.
This Junto is a private, inquiry-driven conversation about time: what it is (and isn’t), how it governs biology and institutions, how it’s engineered, how we defy or embrace its passage, and what a sane (or absolutely mad) relationship to time might look like in our unique context.
What we’ll explore (sample threads)
Is memory the real substrate of experienced time?
If the universe ends, does time end?
How do institutions manufacture time? What about artists?
What would you do with infinite time?
Where would you go first as a time traveler?
You wake up as an immortal being... what's next?
