But isn’t there something other than mountain time, captured in a series of recorded events, that needs to be admitted here? And if we’re “suppressing our way out of the issue,” what actually is “the issue”? On the material, everyday level, the issue in this case would seem to be a series of boulders that keep destroying property despite the city’s increasing infrastructural reinforcements. But what I want to suggest is something more: that the “issue” is a failure to recognize the mountain itself.
