The work of peace, then, is phenomenological maintenance. It is the cultivation of shared experience across difference. It is resistance to the forces—technological, political, ideological—that seal boundaries and render outsiders unreal. It is the protection of conditions under which corrective feedback can flow, under which dissonant experience can challenge settled certainty, under which the noetic ground remains genuinely shared.
We do not lose peace because we disagree about truth. We lose it when we stop sharing a world of experience at all.
Pretty much the same story for me. Linux has always been too much of a headache and I needed windows to run games anyways.
Installed Fedora on a separate ssd today.
In the first hour of setting it up I ran into about a dozen little annoying problems that surely can be fixed with hours of fiddling.
For some reason it runs like molasses as if I’m running it from a usb drive.
Then I noticed some glitches on my monitor as if the Display cable is broken and decided to just boot my perfectly working win 10 installation again sigh…
It took me way to long to realize how I fucked my psyche by consuming all the apocalyptic nightmare movies, tv shows, books and videogames and of course the endless doom and gloom in the news.
I wouldn’t say I’m good at it but I have been trying for a couple years now and every once in a while I manage to get there and it’s just very peaceful and calming and afterwards I feel a lot better and capable of doing things I’m otherwise mentally blocked from.
