Within the Context of No Context. George Trow's great essay. We are the culture of no context. You can live that way. Skimming over the surface of everything. That can become your "go-to" mode. Skimming. Streaming. Skipping. The eternal now. It's sort of Zen. Living on the surface.
Or you can delve in, sink in, dip in.
Knowing the context, finding the context, exploring the connections between things, that's another mode. Takes time and thought. One thing leads to another. Looking for connections. How one thing comes out of another, how they are linked, what else was happening when something was created, when something happened.
Skimming or delving in. Two modes.
