We can only speak to the future/Paolo Soleri
The distance between two or more individuals makes it unavoidable that crossing messages never reach the original target. Instead, and always, the messages reach the senses of 'the successor", that is, the me and the you of now and not the me and the you of ten seconds or hours or years ago (or whenever the message was sent). This is one of the inescapable crosses of organism, since organism exists in a space-time reality: receiving only "old" information and broadcasting it to whom is not yet, while directing it to whom is no more. On a cosmic scale, this means receiving a message from an object that has ceased to exist (for eons perhaps), and vice versa, to broadcast to objects that will come into existence eons hence. So we suffer and rejoice about the ghost of a fossil long disposed of, or vice versa.

wow.
information - digestion - assimilation:
"our make-up is a consequence of billions of years of work, and so there is the question of how tight the sequence is that allows us to transform data or information into knowledge. we seem to be in a hurry, so we tend to put aside the last stage which is the important stage. but that may be just a consequence of the 'magic' of the new technology which we have invented. it might be a temporary phase of gearing up to a new speed, let’s say, and possibly to a better knowledge of things."
