May 11 – This essay took a while longer to write than expected, mostly from procrastinating from having to wrestle with the more complex ideas presented by this subject matter. Last August I finally got around to experiencing Meow Wolf, the original. Now I wrote about how we choose to navigate the world and how those choices weigh on us over time; about Nietzsche and art and multiversal portals and the business of maximizing dwell time. Like the attraction this essay is based on, I’m not sure if the themes all fit together neatly, but maybe there’s a couple of ideas that stick.


Jan. 16 – I want to make very clear before reading this travel journal that I enjoyed my time in Santa Fe. It’s a beautiful city filled with lovely art and culture and good people. And I have some other thoughts about it.
