unhinged 'because everything leans, the world doesn't lend itself to being known in a determinate way, and yet, as you can see, that doesn't mean that things lose their distinction. in fact, it shows us that things find definition, meaning, and utility only in relationship to other things. what does this show us? it shows us that what we think to be the case will always be a vague approximation of a fathomless play of interconnected relationships. when you think about things in this way, it may make you more attentive to the world and how you move about in it.' - elizabeth mattis namgyel 180807

unhinged 'that everything leans implies a world of infinite connectedness. but it also implies that what we think of as the world is far from being a collectively agreed upon truth; rather, it is actually vastly distinctive in the myriad ways we individually perceive and interpret it. have you ever imagined what it must be like to see the world through someone else's eyes? or even through the eyes of another species? when you start to think in this way, certain questions may arise. if we experience things so dissimilarly, how do we establish or identify truth? how is it we make a distinction between delusion, reality, and illusion?' - elizabeth mattis namgyel 180807
