wow this excerpt is heavy. ‘loop of perpetual postponement’. been thinking about that. making the present a means to an end. similar to some fundamental religious doctrine, the promise of an afterlife in heaven. when your salvation is put in the future, you will never have it. i think Krishnamurti said some great things about that. any way thanks for getting me thinking, might have to go back and reread the book.
what other advantages do you think this change in mental capacity gives? and what do you think it indicates about our evolution? i've been thinking that entertainment and TV have been training our consciousness into some sort of locus of attention for some purpose.
