Hi Syzygy,

I occasionally revisit Terence’s site, which I first found on one of my school computers in the late ’90s when I was 11 or 12, probably by searching for ‘unicorn’ or something. I remember checking the website again sometime between the new millennium and the September 11 attacks, when I learned of Terence’s passing. Every once in a while I come back to it.

It has of course been 24 years since his passing, and nearly 12 years since the eschaton. What was it, do you think? It occurs to me that the nature of the internet has markedly changed in the past decade – perhaps this is what was meant by ‘infinite novelty’, although sitting at my work computer bouncing around the same 5 or 10 websites no longer feels novel. Or maybe it was the interaction between this ‘infinite novelty’ and other societal elements, like a political shift rightward or even the creation and mass implementation of AI / machine learning.

My ex links the eschaton with Kryon, who has somewhat hedged by saying that its meaning will only become clear 18 years later – so in about 6 years. Kryon’s interesting, although my lack of trust in my ex perhaps affects my ability to trust in Kryon.

Basically what I’m saying is please bring Terence back somehow, I miss him.

Best,
