Nikipedia: 2 minute vibes: Recent Episodes
Nick Theodorou
Celebrating and connecting with human ingenuity. A catalogue of valuable and important ideas I come across, mostly to find other people to collaborate with online. Each episode is ad-libbed and designed to concisely transmit a sample of connections to a theme that I found to be intriguing. (...Like a "random mutation" to what you were otherwise thinking about today). #poweredByADHD

Came across a reading of this in a bbc documentary, perhaps by one of the poet laureates. I actually didn’t know what it was about until I recorded it for this. Dedicated to Paul Hanson (for me a cheeky robin descended).
An account on (one of the ways) humans came to form a written/spoken language and how directionality can plays into our conceptualised sense of time, between East-West cultures..
