Did you ever hear of the three Ds of dog training? Distraction, duration, and distance! I wonder if Virilio is the inspiration for 2/3 Ds. It makes me think that maybe in addition to theorizing about the direction of humanity, he was also theorizing about pedagogy. In order to learn, to change, we have to imbue our experiences with meaning.
Whoa, no, I’ve never heard of this but it’s sooo fascinating. Love the extension of the principles into pedagogy and learning. The third D is just as profound! Thanks, Brenden!
This was awesome— big bird nerd here so it was great to see them get their spotlight. Love the takeaway to slow down and enjoy the journey (a common thread in lessons learned from nature!!)
Loved this, even the shit! I’ve been thinking about how bad instantaneity and certainty makes us at handling uncertainty—where waiting gives time weight, and weighty time makes us feel its passage, anchoring, when the email is certain to arrive instantaneously, we lose the anchor, and floating panic at the unknown.

An evergreen lesson for sure. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Mel!
This is fascinating!
Thanks for reading, Jo!
Absolutely loved this essay—I’m especially fascinated by the idea of chronodiversity. Thanks for taking the time to write this.
Thanks so much, Owen! Yes, that concept sort of blew my mind when I first encountered it!
