“The movie Koyaanisqatsi shows non-commented time-lapse footage and focuses our attention on the very rhythm of our civilized modern life and nature. A marijuana high can do something for a user similar to what this time-lapse footage does. The enhancement of episodic memory and the acceleration of associative streams of memories can alter and enhance our recognition of patterns in our lives in various ways. If we are presented with quick associative chains of past experiences, we can see a pattern in a body of information that is usually not at once presented to our “inner eye” as such.” InspirationCreativeDrugPerceptionInsightInsightfulMarijuanaPsychedelicHighCannabisTime LapsePattern RecognitionMarihuanaEpisodic MemoryPsychoactiveKoyaanisqatsi Author:Sebastian Marincolo

“By and large it is uniformly true in mathematics that there is a time lapse between a mathematical discovery and the moment when it is useful; and that this lapse of time can be anything from 30 to 100 years, in some cases even more; and that the whole system seems to function without any direction, without any reference to usefulness, and without any desire to do things which are useful.” YearsWholeMomentsSeemsDesireCasesDiscoveryFunctionMathematicsMathematicalUsefulnessLapsesTime Lapse Author:John von Neumann
