Great piece of video. I enjoyed your take on this subject. You might want to read The Secret Pulse of Time. It has some overlapping with this read but the author looks at the effect of our perception of time on how we feel.

[@DavoodGozli]

Very nice. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s interesting you mention Benjamin’s storytelling essay as I think this week another Han translation about storytelling vs narration, called The Crisis of Narration was released. Looking forward to your take on it.

[@DavoodGozli]

Quite interesting to see how Han's book titles appear earlier as chapter titles. For example, the final chapter in The Scent of Time is titled Vita Contemplativa. It's not exactly that he further develops the chapters into books, but that he places the centre (or the central issue) differently in different books.

We are not quicker than plants, even though we use their names in speed for intelligence.

That's a significant theme in the book - to be in contact with nature (and our natural selves) we have to mind our pace. Hope you're doing well
