the age of newly found information

for Bill McKibben

We look at an entire day of mindless human activities across the globe. Patterns emerge from a dense threshold of noise...

• Toothbrushing -- A ritual practiced daily -- using a special artifact, paste, and rhythm. There is intimate hand/mouth connection.
• Animal functions – Like eating and sleeping. These may be done alone, but like toothbrushing, constitute a global shared experience (GSE). For example, you actually sleep with millions of people every night. Across the globe. Quite a few of them are naked.
• Commuting: Of the nearly 7 billion residents of the earth, how many are caught in traffic right now?
• Bad thoughts -- Bad thoughts are a global shared experience. Its widely believed that bad thoughts occurring at the same moment, anywhere, are connected.
