Share a proverb you think is completely wrong and make your case.
“There’s nowt new under the sun”
Everything is always in a process (long or short-form) of morphogenesis. Even in repetitive movements.
Our perception of repetition misses this because of the trauma capitalist acceleration inflicts on time itself: we constantly feel retrograded, fighting our way out of a mannequin museum dedicated to our own experiences.
OR, as Paulo Virno suggests; we think we feel deja vu, but what we are actually expering is a cognitive short circuit, that unveils our ‘memory of the present’. AND, because capitalist media production increasingly floods our memory with historical artifact in real time, we feel like we have seen ‘everything already’.
