Applied to a blog, angkorwatification is a sort of textual equivalent of rewilding. You have a base layer of traditional blog posts that is essentially complete in the sense of having created, over time, an idea space with a clear identity, and a more or less deliberately conceived architecture to it. And you have a secondary organic growth layer that is patiently but relentlessly rewilding the first, inorganic one. That second layer also emerges from the mind of the blogger of course, but does so via surrender to brain entropy rather than via writerly intentions disciplining the flow of words. I’ve seen some other old sites undergo angkorwatification. Some seem to happily surrender to it like I am doing, others seem to fight it, like I won’t.

Philip K Dick said:
The basic premise dominating my stories is that if I ever met an extraterrestrial intelligence (more commonly called a "creature from outer space") I would find I had more to say to it than to my next-door neighbor… The way out of living in the middle of an under-imaginative figment is to make contact, in your own mind, with other civilizations as yet unborn.

I think since normal life is full of daily micro-performances, you're a little more in it, and then you come out of it too long...

Funny you mention this. Luka messaged me the other night saying he'd reluctantly had a look at some more Lerner and was actually quite into it.

a WIsconsin farm boy who, with a large helping of grit, a can-do-attitude, and a whole lotta talent made it to the bright lights of New York and SUCCESS spelled in capital letters. A recently aquired metropolitan polish not managing to conceal his salt of the earth nature, heartland morals and an instinctive sympathy with the little guy. this is the story of suspended reason.

this is Bourdieu's life story too, actually

I'm slightly more middle-class in origin, certain hard-to-access sacrednesses only came to me later
