I wonder what would happen if I tried to repeat a day, exactly as the previous day. I’m curious how life would push that process in different ways, and how I’d have to adapt to shift things back toward that previous order.
Even the most mundane day seems different, even if minutely. The day seems resistant to this. I am curious about the resistance.
Something that repeats
A variant: imagine if somewhere in my day, some instance of an event is repeated exactly each day and I don’t notice (it is uninterrupted because nobody notices). It is almost like a needle that pierces through days. It cannot be a clock, though regularity of it would make it a clock. It would need to be like “every day this bird lands on this branch”.
I’ll notice people who exercise regularly in the morning, who tend to be the same spots.
When I did a timelapse, taking a photo every day. I realized that I had become this fixed point.
PsychOdyssey and Documentary
In the PsychOdyssey Episode 33, there’s a segment where the creatives on the project are speaking about their experiences watching the documentary (PsychOdyssey follows the creation of a group project, where different team members are observed closely over a long period of time.)
They converse about how they felt reviewing this footage, often of moments they forgot. So, repeating days…
One subject states
You did a great job, because it really brought how it was. I remember I had a strong reaction because it came out and I was “oh, I’m going to check these out” and I would like watch a few and it would be like “uh uh” and I would start to shake, so I had to like stop.
Another
I think I got maybe ten episodes in and was just “I can’t I can’t I’m not ready”
