Krebs cycle as another pivot

Krebs cycle is another pivot, or hinge, the threshold where Janus dances, the gate is a dance surfing a flow of protons.

Consciousness re-iterates this in/by/through/up/out/ involutions, some meta, some complexified, some hindsighted into logic, like the way a bear eats berries to pile on fat for winter. There is a routine there that rites iterate, same same but different, hymns to our lazy success, rain, hail or shine as climates weather us into reproduction bearing responsibilities. A naked baby.

We iterate our hide as a house. The house as a market. The market as a church.

The membrane that separates is the engine itself. Spinning itself into existence, here, not here, gone, gone again. Come again.

What did you say? I might write that down the way a bear piles on fat for winter.

The lecture/video is a good update and refresher for Nick Lane’s book:
