“We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed. We are at a moment. I believe, when our experience of the world is less that of a long life developing through time that that of a network that connects points and intersects with its own skein.”
* We have a constant connection with time, we are in a period of time where everything is instant, where everything and nothing are happening at the same time. We live during the time where virtually any question has the potential of being answered with the click of a button. The commentary here has already started in the passage being presented; the idea of simultaneity and juxtaposition of time that are so heavily present in both Foucault and Time Code, where the lives of everyone intersect at random intervals and random vectors like in an online social network. A time where all things are happening at once, and people are aware of their happenings, perhaps not the individual incidents, but the knowledge that they are, somewhere occuring: death, disease, birth, sex, walking, talking, laughing, reading, crying-the endless possibilities of the human condition that have become linked together across countries, continents, and cultures; which until recently has not been possible. Attempt to transcend what is and what has been. No satisfaction with the past or the incompetency of the present. ** (Actions of the human condition; historical hermeneutic ideas)
