Very Internet Person

Today's read: 'The Internet Enters Its Age of Aquarius' by Günseli Yalcinkaya.

'In 1940, Carl Jung saw the meridian of the first star in Aquarius and took it to mean the early signs of a long-lasting psychic change in the collective psyche – he associated it with the symbol of humanity as the Water Bearer, writing of “a godlike power that has fallen into human hands.” A year later, Jorge Luis Borges made an account of quantum reality in his short story “The Garden of Forking Paths” (1941), which describes an infinite series of diverging, converging, and parallel timelines. It sounds much like being online, how logging on distorts your perception of space and time, the psychedelic nature of many realities happening all at once.'
