It was Ann Bonny who convinced me that I should join the crew as an ambassador of Earth-bound Third Culture, a living example of intertwingularity and an early warning sign in unproductive (or dangerous) conflict situations. Since then I have been training in connecting everything (and everyone) with everything (and everyone) else, often working in [[:/thalience|Thalience]], trans-species communication and first contact with sentient beings, with many side-trips in the kitchen with Tina, cooking up many a Third Culture feast (drawing from my early FoAM experiences of food as a Third Culture catalyst between e.g. a Chinese computer vision technologist and a Lithuanian textile designer). I often spend my time with Tim, sitting in silence as one of the masters of the Nothingness guild, that was founded after a decade of [[:/doing nothing]] experiments at FoAM. I met Julian at one of Ann Bonny's banquets and we spend many an evening reminiscing about old times. Nik and I are still married, phylotically connected through various streams of consciousness and meeting in different times and dimensions, often reliving our early relationship using a fluid time-protocol he developed (although it is a bit glitchy, so we also end up stranded in Wolfsburg in 2005, then more than happy to re-emerge in our current timeline, intertwined with the Ark, and each other. | It was Ann Bonny who convinced me that I should join the crew as an ambassador of Earth-bound Third Culture, a living example of intertwingularity and an early warning sign in unproductive (or dangerous) conflict situations.
