Nikipedia: 2 minute vibes

About Nikipedia: 2 minute vibes

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 Take a listen and then reach out to join in and suggest to me your themes. There is a room for you here on Nikipedia. Contact Email: Nickth@protonmail.com

   #6 “The Sphinx”

   Things fall apart, but in “The second coming” by WB Yates, is the reference about [ethereal] civilisations? We’ve had historical continuity for two or three Millennia. Perhaps a narrative of saviour emblems helps to create that stability.

   Nong Shu

   Another historically significant artefact I decided to highlighted from the 'repeating year series' -- published in 1313 Nong Shu has the claim for the world's first mass-produced book, pre-dating "The Bible" printed using Guttenburg's Press in the 15th Century.

    #4 “Hōjōki” — The Nikipedia Experience

    In serendipitous fashion I looked up what happened in the year 1212 and picked something that caught my eye. Is 808 years considered ancient for a text? This short book is still studied in Japan by school students.

    #2 “The Box” - Nikipedia

    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).

    #1 “Time goes Up” - The Nikipedia Experience

    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..
