There's a commercial I have seen a few times for a television show on HBO about people who collect things. Their collections, as evident from the ads, are serious. These people have somehow managed to hold onto a lot of stuff. ‘There are a lot of really…

We can imagine an escalator as being a (conveyor) belt between two different states of consciousness. On the one hand (beginning or end, depending on how you see it) the lower (or higher) level, and on the other hand a progression or pro-‘motion’ of the f
