The Wavicle, or wave-particle duality, suggests that all objects
exhibit both wave and partical properties. Between observations as it
evolves on its own, it behaves like a wave; distributed across space,
exploring different intermixing paths to all possible destinations.
However, when its location or speed is measured, it appears definite
and concrete, like a particle. Its wave nature gives this measurement
a curious property: the more certain we are about either speed or
position, the more uncertain we become about the other.
Uncertainty/doube. Valuing both process and outcome. -
Emergent Strategies by Adrienne Maree Brown
I was also raised to believe that we were eventually going to live on
Venus. In my early twenties, years after I left the Family, I was
describing my childhood to someone and she said, “That doesn’t sound
like a commune—it sounds like a cult.” I still balk at this word and
all the preconceived notions that come with it. What’s the difference
between a commune and a cult? Here’s one: a cult never calls itself a
cult. It’s a term created by people not in cults to label and classify
groups they view to be extreme or dangerous. So it feels judgmental,
presumptuous, and narrow in scope. It makes me feel protective of my
upbringing. You don’t know how it was. -
My Childhood in a Cult, The New Yorker
Since childhood, Needy has been best friends with Jennifer Check, a
popular and beautiful high school color guard flag spinner, despite
the two having little in common. Jennifer often mistreats and
dominates Needy, who is too in awe of her to stand up for herself. One
night, Jennifer takes Needy to a local dive bar to attend a concert by
indie rock band Low Shoulder. A fire engulfs the bar, killing several
people. Jennifer, in shock from the fire, leaves with the band even
though Needy tells her not to. Later that evening, she appears in
Needy's kitchen, covered in blood, and attempts to eat a rotisserie
chicken. She immediately vomits a trail of black fluid and almost
bites Needy's neck, but retreats and leaves. -
